Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck in Sydney?
You’ve tried everything. Dieting, exercising, even wearing the new synthetic spandex to hold you in, but nothing provides the shape that you desire and deserve. We hear this a lot from our Sydney area patients believe it or not. The good news is that years of frustration could meet their end with your decision to get a tummy tuck. However, there is much to know in order to make an educated decision and a lot of questions that many patients have prior to the procedure.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
Also known as an abdominoplasty, this procedure removes excess subcutaneous fat, removes loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles. The beauty of this procedure is that it can help tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Tummy tucks are the good solution for creating a firmer, flatter tummy that is more in proportion with your body type and weight. However, if you are looking for a decidedly smaller waist, then this procedure may, or may not, fulfill that expectation.
Who Benefits Most from Tummy Tucks?
Are you a woman who has had multiple pregnancies? Chances are your abdominal muscles and skin did not retract to the pre-pregnancy state. If you have put your childbearing years behind you, you would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck in Sydney. Women or men who have experienced a great amount of weight loss and now have excess fat deposits and loose skin can also benefit from this surgical procedure.
What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?
“Mini tummy tuck” is a catch phrase in use today that may be misleading. The usage of the word “mini” means that the procedure will leave a shorter scar, have less pain, require a shorter recovery time and even cost less. The vast majority of people opting for this surgery are desirous of a smaller waistline, both laterally and frontally.
It is always important to come in for a personalized consultation with Dr. Marucci to determine if a mini tummy tuck would be the best option for you vs. a standard tummy tuck.
