Tummy Tuck South Elgin IL

Tummy Tuck South Elgin IL

Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck involves removing excess skin and fat to restore weakened muscle tissue. The result is an abdominal profile that is firmer and smoother.

Many people practice dieting and exercise in order to attain a toned, flat abdomen. However, frequently these methods are not able to achieve that goal. Even people who are at a normal weight and body proportions may develop a “loose” abdomen that sags and protrudes. Some of the typical causes of this can include:

-The natural aging process.
-Hereditary factors.
-Pregnancy.
-Prior surgeries.
-Major changes in body weight.

Although a Tummy Tuck South Elgin IL can have remarkable results, it isn’t a substitute for regular exercise and a healthy diet plan. The results of the procedure can last for quite some time. However, the positive results can diminish significantly if there are major fluctuations in weight. Anyone planning to lose a lot of weight or considering a future pregnancy should postpone getting a tummy tuck.

A Tummy Tuck South Elgin IL is not a procedure that will eliminate stretch marks. Although, stretch marks may diminish somewhat if they’re on the areas of extra skin that will be excised.

Like other cosmetic surgeries, a tummy tuck is a very individualized type of procedure. You should choose to do it only for yourself and not to fulfill another person’s desires.

Generally, a Tummy Tuck South Elgin IL may be a good option for you if:

-You maintain a relatively stable body and you are in good physical health.
-Your expectations for a Tummy Tuck South Elgin IL are realistic.
-You do not smoke.
-You are not happy with the appearance and tone of your abdominal section.

-Your goals for getting a cosmetic surgery.
-Allergies, medical conditions and your medical history. Particularly, if you have had surgeries before and if you are allergic to any medications.

As part of your consultation for a Tummy Tuck South Elgin IL, your cosmetic surgeon will:

-Take photos.
-Assess your general condition and any pre-existing conditions or factors that could pose a risk.
-Talk about your options and suggest a treatment plan.
-Discuss probably results of the procedure and any potential risks and complications.

It is important to communicate openly with your cosmetic surgeon to help ensure the success of your procedure. The consultation is your opportunity to ask questions about your cosmetic surgery and how you can best prepare for it.

It’s very helpful for you to understand all the aspects of a tummy tuck surgery.  To that end, in preparation for a tummy tuck surgery, your cosmetic surgeon might ask you to:

-Get a complete medical evaluation or laboratory tests.

-Start taking specific medications or to adjust medications you are currently taking.

-Stop smoking and consuming alcohol.

-Stop taking any kind of medications or supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding.

While you can expect to enjoy positive results from your cosmetic surgery, there is not a guarantee. In some cases, it might not be possible to attain an optimal outcome with one surgery. To that end, another surgery might be necessary to fully realize your cosmetic goals.

It’s important to closely follow your post-procedure instructions to maximize the success of your tummy tuck. In addition, do subject the surgical incisions to excessive force, abrasion or motions as you heal.
