Tummy Tuckin' It In - Newport Beach Cosmetic Surgery

    NEWPORT BEACH, CA, February 18, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- You've had a baby and your stomach won't go back to its pre-pregnancy shape. You have recently undergone excessive weight loss and there is excess loose skin around your belly. You have about ten more pounds to lose before you hit your ideal weight, but diet and exercise are not working.

If any of those descriptions sound familiar and you are at a loss for what you can do to improve your appearance, you will want to think about a tummy tuck. It happens to all of us. Even those young, beautiful people will one day find themselves with extra fat and skin on their midsections. It's normal. A tummy tuck can remove the extra fat and skin from your stomach and tighten the abdominal muscles.

Some people may have more excess fat on their waistline than others along with excess skin. A tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction to give optimal results for body contouring. Liposuction removes the extra fat and the tummy tuck removes the extra skin.

Tummy Tuck Benefits
A tummy tuck provides many benefits that enhance not only your appearance, but your health as well. These benefits are:

- Excess Skin Removed
- Firmer, Toned Abdominal Muscles
- Improved Health Through Weight Loss
- Removed Stretch Marks and Post-Pregnancy Bulge
- Lasting Results

For some people who are intimidated by going to the gym because of excess skin and fat, a tummy tuck can be a way to get jump-started on a new, healthier lifestyle.

Candidate for a Tummy Tuck
Candidates for tummy tuck surgery are those who:

- Are 18 years old or older
- Are close to their ideal body weight
- Have excess skin due to pregnancy or extreme weight loss
- Have fat with excess skin that wonâEUR t budge with diet and exercise
- Have stretched or lax abdominal muscles

What You Can Expect From Your Tummy Tuck
You can expect great results from a tummy tuck. The excess fat and skin around your stomach will be greatly reduced. You will fit into your clothing better and you will be thinner. Your abdominal muscles will be tighter, toner, and firmer. Your appearance will be vastly improved and your body will look natural. Tummy tuck surgery is a body contouring procedure that helps enhance your body's natural curves creating a slimmer waistline.

Tummy tuck surgery uses an incision from hipbone to hip bone in a full tummy tuck and smaller incision across the pelvic area in a mini tummy tuck. Women who have minor excess skin and have had a c-section can expect to have the incision for the surgery on the same scar as the c-section in a mini tummy tuck. The incisions for the full and mini tummy tuck surgeries are strategically placed on the body so clothes can easily hide the scar.

A tummy tuck can help you reach your personal goals and help restore your body to how it looked before pregnancy or weight gain. Please visit the website of Orange County Plastic Surgeon Dr. Hendricks for information about tummy tuck surgery in Newport Beach.
