The best candidates for abdominoplasty are men or women who are in relatively good shape, but are bothered by an abdominal fat deposit, a persistent ‘pooch’, or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly helpful to women who, through pregnancy, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved. Patients who intend to lose a lot of weight should postpone the surgery. Also, women who plan future pregnancies should wait, as vertical muscles in the abdomen that are tightened during surgery can separate again during pregnancy. As with all surgeries, abdominoplasty does have risks, and these will be discussed extensively during your consultation with Dr. Jones.

Calling abdominoplasty a tummy tuck makes it sound so cute and simple, and in some ways, perhaps, that's not all bad. Because of the differences between our bodies' youthful qualities and their less-youthful qualities, it's possible to put all the right efforts into exercise and eating habits without ever quite reaching the final goal of a flat, trim tummy. Some fat deposits just don't know when they're not wanted, and a tummy tuck can indeed be that final push you need.

Still, if you are considering a tummy tuck, it's best to understand what you're contemplating. Abdominoplasty usually involves an incision stretching all the way from hip to hip, the excision of sections of skin, and tightening of the muscles. The results can be dramatic; but the more extensive the tuck, the more extensive the process. It's important to discuss all of the possibilities, both positive and negative, with your doctor before you make up your mind.
