A tummy tuck is well known for tightening the muscles in the abdomen, reducing the appearance of a protruding abdomen and slimming the waistline for a desired contour.
Improved confidence
The primary benefit of a tummy tuck is improved confidence. You’ll be able to wear clothing that’s truer to size and not feel uncomfortable from a pooch or the so-called muffin top.
Reduced risk of infection
If your skin is extremely loose and hangs over a crease in the skin, you may be at risk of infection within the fold. A tummy tuck will remove that apron of skin to remove that risk of skin irritation or infection.
Better posture
If you’ve been pregnant or lost a significant amount of weight, then you know how your abdominal muscles have stretched and become weakened. Weak abdominal muscles are often associated with poor posture from lordosis, a curving inward of the lower back. Tightened muscles from a tummy tuck can better support the spine and improve posture. A better posture helps reduce or eliminate certain types of back pain.
Corrected hernia
When the intestine or abdominal tissue breaks through the abdominal wall, it can form a pocket or sack known as a ventral hernia. Abdominal weakness from weight loss or C-section surgeries can cause this hernia. Abdominoplasty can correct a ventral hernia as it fixes the weakened abdominal muscles and prevent future occurrences.
A tummy tuck can be very appealing to many people because of the aesthetic and medical benefits this popular surgery offers. To learn more, schedule a consultation by calling (585) 922-5840 today.
