Tummy Tuck – The Woodlands and Katy, Texas

Many men and women seek tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) to achieve a more tone-looking abdomen. Due to factors such as genetics, multiple pregnancies, or a substantial shift in weight can cause loose skin and stubborn fat deposits to develop in the abdomen. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens abdominal muscles for a sleeker looking profile. Tummy tuck surgery is sometimes combined with liposuction or other procedures for a more complete look.

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

The best candidates for abdominoplasty are men or women in relatively good shape who are unhappy with the appearance of their abdomens due to diet resistant fat deposits and lax, loose skin in the lower abdomen. It should not be considered a treatment for obesity and is not recommended for individuals planning to lose considerable amounts of weight.

Though the procedure can be quite effective for women after multiple pregnancies, women considering future pregnancies should post-pone surgery; pregnancy can decrease the longevity of the procedure.
