A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is not a weight-loss procedure, and it is important to have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the procedure. While a tummy tuck can provide a flatter and more toned appearance to the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscles, it is not a substitute for proper diet and exercise.
Individuals who are significantly overweight or obese may benefit more from a weight loss program before considering a tummy tuck, as excess weight can impact the results of the procedure and increase the risk of complications.
During a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, they will evaluate your individual anatomy and provide guidance on the best approach to achieve your desired goals. They may recommend a combination of procedures, including a tummy tuck, liposuction, or other body contouring procedures, to achieve the desired result.
It is important to have a clear understanding of the expected outcomes and to follow the surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimize the results of the procedure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper diet and exercise can also help to maintain the results of the procedure and promote long-term health and wellness.
