What are the Benefits of a Tummy Tuck?

The benefits of a tummy tuck go beyond visual improvements. While a tummy tuck can improve the appearance of your abdomen, it can also improve your overall quality of life and help you feel better about yourself. 

Flatter Abdomen

After your tummy tuck, you will have a flatter, smoother abdomen. Your clothes may fit better, and you will no longer have to worry about overhanging fat and skin. When most people think of a tummy tuck, they think of achieving a slim, toned stomach. 

Repaired Muscles

After pregnancy or weight loss, many people experience separated abdominal muscles and even hernias. No amount of exercise can repair these loosened muscles. During a tummy tuck, Dr. Lawton will repair these muscles. This can improve your posture, stabilize your core, and decrease back pain. 

No More Sagging Skin

Skin and fat that sag down from the abdomen can get in your way and make you uncomfortable. The area underneath this skin can become irritated, and the excess skin can cause chafing. A tummy tuck eliminates this overhanging skin and fat. 

Improved Self-Esteem

Your excess abdominal skin can make you self-conscious. You may avoid wearing anything that shows your stomach, and you may wear clothes that hide your abdominal area. After a tummy tuck, you can feel free to wear and do whatever you want.
