Obese No More, So Next P.O.A.? The Tummy Tuck:

Congratulations, you are no longer the ‘obese one’ among the three Americans (statistically speaking) said to suffer from obesity. You are eating right and are physically more active than you have ever been. You have worked hard on your psychological state and have a more positive outlook.

But all these improved aspects of your life aside, is your body still retaining a lumpy look? While one of the remnants of obesity is an un-toned body, there are usually ways in which this can be corrected. One of the best ways to take care of excess skin in the abdominal area is a through a combination of a tummy tuck and liposuction plastic surgery procedure.

The tummy tuck procedure tightens the muscles in the lower abdomen while the liposuction suctions off any residual fat after weight loss along with any excess skin. Depending on the body weight that is considered ideal for the patient, a cosmetic surgeon can either perform a full tummy tuck or a mini tuck.

These procedures fall into the major surgery category however, and patients are advised to go in for a tummy tuck only after careful consideration. Those women yet to bear children have to wait longer to have a tummy tuck procedure as the abdominal muscles loose elasticity during pregnancy.

Visit us at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California at Beverly Hills for tummy tuck procedures to follow your weight loss program.
