5. WHO CAN BENEFIT
FROM A TUMMY TUCK?
Common reasons for getting
a tummy tuck include:
Pregnancy or multiple
pregnancies
Considerable weight loss
Aging
Genetics
Diet and exercise can't eliminate excess skin or
repair damaged abdominal muscles. If you have
these conditions, a tummy tuck may be the
solution for a firm, smooth abdomen.

abdominal fat
can be removed
as part of the
procedure,
leaving you with
a smaller waist.
Tighter
abdominals
A tummy tuck
can repair
damaged or
stretched
abdominal
muscles.
Smooth
skin
Pregnancy and
weight loss can
leave sagging,
loose skin
behind that a
tummy tuck can
eliminate.
Increased
self-esteem
With no more
embarassing
extra skin and fat
around your
stomach, you can
feel and look
your best.

8. Recovery Period
It is important to take care of
yourself after surgery to maximize
your results.
Expect to wear support garments
for a few weeks and to avoid lifting
and bending.
Swelling and discomfort will
decrease over the following
months, revealing your final results.
Follow up visits allow our surgeon
to monitor your progress and clear
you for more strenuous activities.
