CHICAGO, IL, April 18, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Almost everyone in the country has heard about tummy tucks after one of television's stars had a very public abdominoplasty on the show Jon & Kate Plus 8. Kate Gosselin received and is now showing off the terrific tummy tuck results she got after electing to have the procedure performed. Unfortunately, with notoriety, there are also a lot of myths floating around about tummy tuck procedures.
Tummy Tuck Candidates
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a great option for women who are suffering from sagging skin, excess fat, and distended abdominal muscles after having children or simply from the effects of aging. Tummy tucks are invasive plastic surgery procedures and should be performed as a last resort, not as a weight loss solution.
If you are simply suffering from areas of excess fat around your body after dieting and exercise, liposuction, thigh lift, arm lift, or other plastic surgery options may be better suited for you. The best way to determine if you are a good tummy tuck candidate is to schedule an initial consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon near you.
Tummy Tuck Procedure
During the tummy tuck procedure, an incision is made along the waist and up around the belly button. Excess skin and fat is removed from the abdominal area, and the underlying abdominal muscles are tightened. The incision is then closed and the belly button is repositioned.
Tummy Tuck Results
Tummy tucks are wonderful for women who are looking to gain a slimmer, healthier body contour. However, since the procedure often removes skin from the body, there will be some scarring afterward. Your plastic surgeon will make every effort to make these scars as slight as possible and place then in an area that can be concealed. However, there is no way to perform a tummy tuck procedure without any scarring.
Since a tummy tuck is such an intensive plastic surgery procedure, it is important that you choose the right plastic surgeon to perform the procedure. In Chicago, Illinois, Dr. Placik is proud to provide local women with fantastic tummy tuck results.
