Why Do People Get Undergo an Abdominoplasty?


By Tom Jenkins

It seems that every time you turn on the entertainment channel, the host is invariable discussing which celebrity has recently had a tummy tuck. This phenomenon has contributed to our society's fascination with this procedure. Because of this fascination, we are going to elaborate on why people choose to undergo this surgery.

The largest portion of tummy tuck patients are women, although men are having this surgery more and more. Of course, women usually have this procedure to get back their youthful and pre-pregnancy figures.

The sad truth is that it doesn't matter how many children a women has. Even if she only has one child, it is likely that abdominal area is going to be stretched out and will not return back to its pre-pregnancy form.

Despite a woman's attempt to properly exercise and follow a sound nutritional plan, usually the only way for the woman to eliminate the sagging excess skin is to have a tummy tuck.

In addition to pregnancy, another reason people get a tummy tuck is because of significant weight loss. This is obviously the category that most men fall into.

Due to the patient losing so much weight, it is impossible for the skin to regain its elasticity to the point that it will return to normal. As such, the only real recourse is for the person to undergo tummy tuck surgery.

The last reason that we are going to discuss today is due to aging. Believe it or not, as we age, our abdominal skin loses some of its elasticity and begins to sag. As a result, more and more tummy tuck consultations are being scheduled because of this reason.

For those of us who are more physically fit oriented, this is a fate that we will try to prevent at all costs. Unfortunately, as we are unable to truly reverse the aging process, a tummy tuck may only be a temporary reprieve for these folks.

As we demonstrated above, any one of the three reasons listed above is a good reason to see a tummy tuck surgeon. If you fall into one of these three categories, you may want to consider scheduling a consultation soon to see what benefits you could receive from this procedure.
