Everybody wants to look beautiful and sexy. An unsightly belly is a nightmare to both men and women everywhere. The protruding piece of flesh can destroy an otherwise great dress or suit and it can cause problems when buying clothes that fit.

The most terrifying of all is the prospect of wearing a swimsuit! Imagine that piece of sagging wrinkled skin spilling over the top of your trunks or bikini bottom for everyone to see!

Take Sexy Back With A Tummy Tuck in Houston

Pregnancy, aging or drastic weight loss can produce a sagging belly. The excess skin around the abdomen does not have time to revert to its previous state before the pregnancy or before the extreme weight gain. The skin may have also lost its elasticity due to aging.

A plastic surgery procedure called tummy tuck can help fix this problem. A tummy tuck, or abdominaplasty, removes the excess skin around the abdomen and the excess fat that constant exercise and proper diet cannot fully get rid of.

A tummy tuck, unlike liposuction, is done only when there is no other way for the patient to get rid of the loose skin around the stomach. It is not a substitute for eliminating fat, which is only effective through regular diet and exercise.

Things you should ask before looking into tummy tucks

1. Am I a good candidate for this procedure?

You may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty if a condition has caused the abdominal muscles and skin to sag or stretch, such as multiple pregnancies. Sometimes abdominal muscles can weaken and separate due to aging or weight loss. This can also be corrected with a tummy tuck.

2. Are there any risks involved with this procedure?

Since a tummy tuck is a surgical procedure, there is always a risk of complications. Complications may include bleeding, scars, infection and numbness in the treated area. Dr. McHugh will go over all of the risks and rewards for having this surgery to ensure you make the best decision possible for you.

3. How long will the results last?

The results are long-lasting, as long as you avoid anything that could cause the skin to stretch or sag again, such as excessive weight gain. If you are planning another pregnancy, it is best to postpone having a tummy tuck so the results will not be compromised.

4. Will this procedure leave me scarred?

You will have scars following the procedure; however, they will be in a location that can be concealed with most clothing.

Houston Tummy Tucks By Dr. Thomas McHugh

Some areas that Dr. McHugh can treat with this surgical procedure include the center of the abdomen (including the area between the rib cage and pubic bone) and even the sides and back. Each patient?s tummy tuck may be different, as it is customized for each person?s condition.

When localized fat is the problematic area for a patient, abdominal contour surgery may be an option. This surgical procedure uses only liposuction techniques to contour the area.

A patient undergoing a tummy tuck at the offices on 800 Peakwood Drive in Houston, Texas should have reasonable expectations and should adhere to a regular diet and exercise program to maintain results.
