If you have a lot of excess fat around your waist but are otherwise in good mental and physical health, you are a candidate for abdominoplasty. Common reasons for having a tummy tuck:
Abdominoplasty after pregnancy: a tummy tuck is a great option for women who have been left with stretched skin and loose muscles due to childbirth.
Abdominoplasty after weight loss: when losing weight, the skin does generally not return to its original tautness. That is where abdominoplasty comes in.
Abdominoplasty in relation to old age: the ageing process is unstoppable and leads to loose and thickened skin around the abdomen. This can also be a reason to have a tummy tuck.
However, if you are planning on losing quite a bit of weight, it is better to put off having a tummy tuck for now. If you are overweight, it is better to lose weight first. And with a very high BMI (often higher than 34), a tummy tuck is not (yet) a good option for you because it increases the risk of infections and bleeding after the surgery. If you are planning on getting pregnant, it is also best to wait.
The benefits and possibilities of a tummy tuck differ from person to person. We advise you to go over it in detail with your doctors at Wellness Kliniek. You can book a no-obligation consultation for that.
