Reasons For a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
There
are a number of reasons to decide to have an abdominoplasty
(or tummy tuck). Tummy tucks are routinely
performed on both sexes. The stretching of muscles and the
presence of stretch marks prompts a lot of women to make an
appointment with a plastic surgeon whereas it is common for
men to want to do away with the “middle age bulge” many get
stuck with. There are ten main reasons to have an abdominoplasty.
Let’s take a look at each of them.
Dieting
and exercise can tone muscles but unfortunately not attack
unattractive loose skin to be found on the abdomen. But an abdominoplasty can accomplish this. A tummy tuck tightens
the inner girdle (the area that extends from the ribcage to
the pubic bone) and allows for the reshaping of the abdominal
walls. This is one reason to undergo this type of surgical
procedure. An abdominoplasty changes the appearance of loose,
flabby skin that has lost its shape and elasticity and transforms
it into a flatter, smoother surface that anyone would be proud
to show off.
Post
partum women frequently seek out this type of operation
as they are bothered by the stretch marks that mar their skin.
Stretch marks occur during pregnancy because of muscle and
skin stretching and no one enjoys the sight of them. They are
also all too common in those who have lost a great deal of
weight. Stretch marks can almost be entirely obliterated by
way of a tummy tuck. Scars brought about by a Caesarian section
wreak havoc with the lower abdominal area as well and many
women after having children don’t feel that their bodies look
presentable enough. An abdominoplasty tightens the area considerably
and improves the overall appearance.
The third reason concerns old
scars from previous surgeries.
If a patient has had stomach stapling operations in the past
or any other surgeries that might have left scars on his/her
abdomen such as an appendectomy or a hernia operation, etc.
a tummy tuck can do away with the scars and revive the skin
into looking smooth and as unblemished as possible.
The fourth reason for having an abdominoplasty is the inability,
or sense of self-consciousness, in wearing scanty underwear
and/or swimwear (especially skimpy bikinis) because of loose,
flabby skin. One scar from the abdominoplasty will be visible
across the lowest part of the abdomen area (in other words,
just slightly above what is referred to as the bikini line)
while another will be somewhere in the area of the belly button.
Some scars on the abdomen heal extremely well and are not very
obvious while other scars are. This tends to vary from person
to person. Most people would agree that a scar or two are preferable
to a protruding mid section.
The
fifth reason is a simple one - we live in a society
that praises flat, smooth stomachs as the ideal way to look therefore
most people yearn to fit in with what society and the media
dictates. As well a flatter abdomen gives the appearance of
a more proportionate and balanced figure, especially when one
looks at one’s body in a full-length mirror standing sideways.
Who doesn’t want to look good after all?
The
sixth reason ties in with the fifth reason somewhat. For
a great deal of people having a flat, smooth stomach was what
they enjoyed in their youth as muscle tone was very good when
they were young and they tended to be very active in their
day to day lives. Having this surgery gives the patient a more
youthful appearance and that is something worth smiling about.
The seventh reason is that having an abdominoplasty gives
a patient a more positive self-image. There is an increase
in the overall level of both self esteem and self confidence
thus allowing the person the feeling that they have not been
defeated and that if having a flatter abdomen is possible for
them then other things can be as well. It’s a good feeling
to know you both look, and feel great.
The eighth reason is merely a cosmetic
one. After this surgery
the patient can get rid of all of their shapeless and large
sized tops, pants, sweaters, dresses, etc. and can instead
begin to wear more fitted clothing that complements the figure
as opposed to hiding it.
The ninth reason is all about sex. A flat, smooth abdomen
looks sexier both when it is draped in a sexy garment such
as a lacy negligee and when it is uncovered. And a bare midriff
as it comes out of the pool glistening wet is off the charts
sexy! Everyone yearns to look sexy and an abdominoplasty can
help one achieve that end.
The
tenth reason is that cosmetic surgery of this type often
makes a person look at how they take care of themselves physically,
psychologically and otherwise. It is sometimes a mirror into
the different aspects of a patient’s life and is an opportunity
for reflection, which is always a good thing.
