Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Aging, pregnancy, and weight gain are just a few of the reasons why you may want a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck can help you regain your beautiful curves and flat stomach. The plastic surgeons at the Ward Institute in Salt Lake City, and Cottonwood Heights, UT, provide a wide range of plastic surgery services for both face and body, including a tummy tuck.

What You Need To Know About a Tummy Tuck

There are a few considerations if you are thinking about a tummy tuck. The ideal candidate for a tummy tuck is a person who:

  • Maintains a stable weight, because when weight fluctuates, it can affect your aesthetic outcome from surgery.
  • Has excess fat and skin in the abdomen which hasn’t gone away with dietary changes and exercise.
  • Has realistic expectations of their results from a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck can help you look better, but it is not a way to lose weight.
  • Patience, because healing from a tummy tuck takes time. A positive outlook helps in the recovery process.

These are just a few of the many benefits of tummy tuck surgery:

  • A tighter tummy and abdominal area
  • A more well-defined waistline
  • Increased self-esteem and self-confidence

A tummy tuck procedure takes two to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Tummy tuck patients usually have an overnight stay in the hospital.
