At Accent On You, we tailor each patient’s procedures to their unique needs, and the tummy tuck – also known as an abdominoplasty – is a particularly customizable procedure. These are some of the most common reasons for talking about tummy tucks. Even with exercise and a good diet, many women are unable to achieve the flat tummy they desire. This is a very common scenario and the one or more of the following factors may contribute to this challenge:
- The aging process itself. A slowing metabolism and the decreased ability to burn off fat may lead to accumulation in the abdominal area. In addition, there’s a loss of skin elasticity that comes with aging.
- Genetic distribution of fat. Some men and women are prone to storing fat in the abdominal area.
- Pregnancy. Because of the stretching and separation of the abdominal muscles, many women cannot regain a tight abdomen after childbirth. Many women also have stretch marks that are a result of pregnancy.
- Weight loss. Even after people have lost a significant amount of weight, they still may have loose and draping skin.
