Tummy Tuck: Frequently Asked Questions

Despite its popularity in the Miami, FL area, many individuals still have several questions about abdominoplasty. Today, we will cover some of the most common questions that are asked.

What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the abdomen caused by pregnancy, obesity or age. The abdominal muscles which may have stretched out or become lax over time can also be tightened.

What If I Get Pregnant After My Tummy Tuck?

There will be no repercussions to you or your baby if you get pregnant after having a tummy tuck. You may end up with excess skin and damaged abdominal muscles again, requiring you to undergo the procedure once more.

What Can I Expect From the Initial Consultation?

Your initial abdominoplasty consultation involves discussing the results you want to achieve with your surgery. We will also examine you. You will have the opportunity to look through before and after photos and even bring in pictures to show your expectations. The surgeon will let you know whether your expectations are realistic or not.

What Results Can I Expect?

A tummy tuck will leave you with a tighter, flatter stomach and may also eliminate some other issues. It is important to note, however, that this is not a weight loss surgery. Your new, youthful body contour will last for many years. However, time cannot be stopped forever, so you may want to have a second procedure done eventually after the first.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Schedule a consultation with a professional to get advice on your individual situation. You may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. If you have damaged or lax abdominal muscles and loose, excess skin, reach out to the professionals at eSSe Plastic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
