An abdominoplasty, or as it is better known – the tummy tuck – is a procedure used to bring about a reduction in the amount of fatty tissues or excessive sagging skin from around the tummy area.

Often the procedure is popular for women who have undergone pregnancy or for those ladies who have lost rather a lot of abdominal weight recently and require a reduction in the remaining skin. However, its popular too for those people – men included – who are just plain getting on in age and are thus have increasingly excessive abdominal skin levels.

The tummy tuck is a very good option to reduce this skin or fatty tissue and even if you are now in the process of losing weight it may not be a bad idea to consult a doctor about a tummy tuck as this process will enhance further upon your desired look.

However, what happens if you do undergo abdominoplasty only to find a year later you are regaining weight and or the skin is starting to sag again?

You will find that most surgeons will recommend that you wait for a further six month period after losing excessive weight before you undergo a tummy tuck. In part, this is because they do not wish you to rely purely upon the actual operation to keep those pounds off around the mid riff area. But also, this six months will allow for the skin to adjust better to your smaller size.

If you are then to gain weight or become pregnant after corrective surgery it is very possible that there will be a thinning of the skin and stress marks appear over parts of the tummy area. Also there could be further issues with muscle contractions and this will then require further surgery. Its very important to retain your over all goal in mind and to be realistic with your expectations.

It is highly advisable that before undergoing any corrective abdominal surgery the patient is not going to have any more children. Not only will this reduce the potential for further operations but also lowers the health risks involved too. There will be no danger to any new child providing that you have fully healed before becoming pregnant again.

Over all though, with corrective surgery the chances of regaining excessive sagging skin and/or excess fatty deposits in the abdominal area are very much reduced. This though does not apply to other parts of your body so there is no excuse for not maintaining a healthy diet and a good exercise regime.
