Physical appearance is very important; it helps you feel better about yourself, which in turn, helps you feel more confident.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is designed to flatten the abdomen by excising excess skin and fat and by tightening the abdominal wall. After pregnancy or weight gain, oftentimes followed by weight loss, no matter how much you exercise and actually lose weight, you may have excessive loose skin.
How can a Tummy Tuck help?
A tummy tuck has multiple benefits, all of which can help you to feel better in your own skin—and more confident overall. Some of the benefits included in a tummy tuck are that it:
• Gets rid of the excessive loose skin
• Tightens the abdominal walls
• Creates a flat stomach
Remember that a tummy tuck is not just surgery—it is a life style change. It is important to maintain a healthy diet and to continue to exercise after the procedure.
A tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia at an out-patient facility. Dr. Beam performs his surgeries at Manchester Memorial Hospital, West Hartford Surgical Center and Hartford Surgical Center.
Are You a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is appropriate for men and women who are in good health and have excessive loose skin, such as:
• Excess or loose, hanging abdominal skin, either from weight loss or pregnancy.
• An abdomen that is out of proportion and/or protrudes unnaturally to the rest of the body.
• Abdominal muscles that have been weakened by pregnancy or aging.
• Excess fat beneath the abdominal skin.
