Tightening The Abdomen To Draw Those Lingering Glances

When it comes to aging, people start to have concerns.

Mother Nature seems to do it all - wrinkles on the face, shriveled frames, and a protruding tummy.

It is not a happy sight.

“I am not too concerned about my crow’s feet”, says a senior college professor. “Wrinkles show maturity. It is the love handles that I dislike”.

Excess fat on the belly, also called ‘beer belly’, pulls down a person’s aesthetic appearance - man or woman.

Despite the fact that abdominal obesity may have strong correlation with cardiovascular disease, it is the bad aesthetics that annoy people.  

To improve the appearance of a flabby, stretched-out belly, there may be plenty of solutions.

Shedding weight, exercise, and yoga can help. But it is a tall order for many.

“Despite exercise and diet, some people do not seem to improve their midriff contours”, says a doctor who performs tummy tuck surgery in Maryland.

Cosmetic surgeons say weight loss minimizes fat layers and intra-abdominal volume but cannot improve loose, hanging skin.

In case of women, pregnancy results in enlargement of the crosswise diameter of the abdomen.

A good candidate for a tummy tuck, according to doctors, is an individual having excessive and loose, sagging abdominal skin.

Expert tummy tuck surgeons in Frederick can bring about an improvement in body contour, remove redundant skin, and even get rid of scar deformities.

Needless to say, all cosmetic surgeons perform an appropriate preoperative evaluation.

They select patients that are as close to their ideal weight as possible but are unable to shed loose skin at their abdominal area because of age or pregnancy.

If you are keen to know if tummy tuck is right for you, consult a good cosmetic surgeon.

A specialist of tummy tuck surgery in Maryland can offer you free consultation about tummy tucks and also any information about other types of cosmetic reconstructive surgeries.

A piece of advice by surgeons

• After the surgery, do not wear an extremely scant bikini. It may not hide your tummy tuck scar. Wear one that accentuates your flat abdomen, for example, a one-piece tank suit.
• Take a couple of weeks off from work to allow for recovery.
• Full recovery may take about 4 to 6 weeks depending on the extent of the procedure.

You can regain fat if you put on weight or get pregnant again. It is for this reason we recommend tummy tucks only for women who do not plan to have any more children.
