You’ve lost weight – what an accomplishment! You have a new body, better health, more energy, increased self-confidence and a renewed outlook on life. All’s good, right? Well…not in all cases.

What many people don’t realize about losing a significant amount of weight (50 pounds or more) is that loose, sagging skin is often a result, along with their new shape. After working so hard to change their body and improve their health, these folds of hanging skin can be very discouraging for both men and women, like their old clothes that are now too big. For some, they can also act as a reminder of their old life and the emotional issues they were struggling with when they were at a higher weight.

As well as being unsightly and embarrassing, excess skin can cause rashes, chafing, infections and back pain. It can also keep people from being as active as they want to be, which can negate the health gains they made and make it easier for the weight to come back. All in all, it can be very frustrating.

There is a solution! A tummy tuck

Do you have loose, flabby skin around your midsection? Do you have stretch marks, Cesarean section scars, or scars from other abdominal surgeries? Would you like a flatter, toned, younger-looking tummy? Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a beautiful solution to all of these. A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin and restores weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The result? A smoother, firmer, more attractive midsection.

In addition to tummy tucks, I also offer a wide range of other body sculpting procedures to help you achieve a more shapely body, which you can learn about here.

Over the years, have you developed squishy, flabby tummy rolls, or stretch marks from weight gain or pregnancy? Do you long for a tighter, toned, sexier body? If so, I encourage you to consider a tummy tuck.

Tummy tuck: a way to win the “battle of the bulge”

Losing a significant amount of weight is a great accomplishment, giving you a new body, better health, more energy, increased self-image and a renewed outlook on life. However, what many people don’t realize is that there’s also a downside to extreme weight loss.

In many cases, people who lose 50 pounds or more are left with loose, sagging skin, which can be very frustrating. After working hard to get a “new body,” it’s discouraging for both men and women to have folds of skin hanging on them, much like their old large-size clothes did. Also, excess skin is a reminder for many of their old life and the emotional issues they were struggling with when they were at a higher weight.

In addition, as well as being unsightly and embarrassing, saggy skin has negative health consequences. It can cause rashes, chafing, infections and back pain. It can also keep people from being as active as they want to be, which not only affects their health but might make it easier for the weight to come back.

My recommendation in these instances? A tummy tuck.

Do you wish you had a flatter, tighter, more toned tummy? Would you like to feel more confident in bathing suits and lingerie? Would you like to get your pre-pregnancy body back? If so, a tummy tuck might be the right solution for you.

What exactly is a tummy tuck?

It is very common for people, especially women, to develop a loose, sagging, protruding abdomen that no matter how much they exercise and watch what they eat, doesn’t go away. Typical causes include:

• Aging
• Heredity
• Pregnancy
• Prior surgery
• Significant fluctuations in weight

Using liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes this excess fat and skin from the abdomen and restores weakened or separated torso muscles. The result? A smoother, firmer, more attractive midsection. For more information on liposuction, download our free fact sheet.

Over the years, has your tummy become soft and flabby? Instead, do you wish it was firm and toned and sexy? Would you like to look better in bathing suits and lingerie? A tummy tuck might be an excellent option for you.

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen and restores weakened or separated torso muscles. The result? A smoother, firmer, more toned midsection. Often performed as part of a “mommy makeover” (a combination of procedures that helps restore a woman’s figure after having a baby), a tummy tuck is also very effective at removing excess skin from women and men who have experienced extreme weight loss in a short period of time.

For many of my patients, a tummy tuck is a wonderful turning point in their lives, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to have a positive body image, sometimes for the first time. Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, reduces excess fat and skin and helps restore weakened or separated muscles. The result? A smoother, firmer, more attractive midsection.

However, it’s not unusual for a woman to want to get pregnant after having a tummy tuck, and often patients come to me asking of this is safe, or even possible. While it is perfectly safe to get pregnant after a tummy tuck without injuring yourself or the baby, the pregnancy will stretch the abdominal wall muscles and overlying skin, potentially reversing some of the improvements gained by the tummy tuck.
