When to Consider a Tummy Tuck

tummy tuck

A tummy tuck can greatly improve the look of your stomach and midriff, making it flat and tight. This is not only an aesthetic concern, as a tummy tuck can also resolve issues such as skin irritations and infections in hanging folds by eliminating the folds. However, choosing the right time for your tummy tuck is crucial to achieving the best results possible. If you’re wondering if now is the time, there are several considerations to ponder before making your final decision.

Your Weight Is Stable

You don’t want to get this procedure and then loose a large amount of weight, as this can just leave you with more loose, flapping skin again. You also will not want to gain significant weight after surgery, as you may end up with stretch marks and an unflattering scar line. Ideally, you will want to be very close to your normal weight before you get a tummy tuck. A few pounds won’t make much of a difference, but you don’t want wild weight fluctuations after surgery.

You Are Done Having Biological Children

If you’re female, you should ideally wait until your biological family is complete before seeking a tummy tuck. While there is no risk to the baby, a woman who gets pregnant after this procedure may notice a lot more stretch marks than expected. After the pregnancy is over, a second tummy tuck may likely be necessary to remove sagging excess skin. For these reasons, a tummy tuck is best after a woman is through having biological children.

You’re in Good Health

Any surgery makes demands on your body’s immune system and energy reserves, and a tummy tuck is no exception. To get the best results and the fastest healing time, you will want to pay attention to your diet and exercise program before surgery.

If you are feeling fatigued frequently or are always getting the sniffles, talk to your primary care physician about these concerns. It’s possible that changing your diet, adding a multivitamin or switching up your workout routine may be in order.

You Have Sufficient Recuperation Time

A tummy tuck is not the kind of surgery you can shrug off and be back to normal routines within a few days. You will need weeks to get back into your daily life. For the first week or so post-surgery, you will likely need another adult at home to help you. It is important to wait until you have sufficient recovery time before booking your tummy tuck.

Learn More During a Consultation

If you are not happy with the appearance of your stomach, a tummy tuck may be just the solution you’re looking for. However, knowing when the time is right is crucial to attaining the bet results. If you’d like to discuss your surgical options or if you have any questions, visit Athena Plastic Surgery, with locations in Stuart and Palm Beach Gardens.
