Will the Results of Your Tummy Tuck Last?

If you are looking into getting a tummy tuck, one of the more pressing questions you are probably asking yourself is if the results of this procedure will last. After all, everyone wants their cosmetic surgeries to provide lasting changes. Of course, our bodies change over time, whether it be through weight gain, weight loss, or the effects of aging. However, assuming you take care of your body, maintain a healthy diet, and your weight does not drastically fluctuate, the effects of your tummy tuck should last for many years to come.

How Can I Ensure My Tummy Tuck Lasts?

If you recently lost a lot of weight or had a baby, you might notice that your skin is not able to bounce back into place and, in fact, might even look saggy. This would be the ideal time to have a tummy tuck procedure done. It would be able to effectively address excess baggy, wrinkling, or sagging skin, smoothing out your stomach and allowing you to achieve the refreshed and renewed appearance you desire.

If you were to have this procedure done prior to having children or achieving your weight loss goals, however, the effects of it would be compromised. That is why it is critical to put off having this cosmetic surgery done until after you have finished having children or have reached a stable weight. This will ensure that your tummy tuck’s results last and you do not have to return to the operating table for another one in the future.

Remember, a tummy tuck is not an effective method of weight loss and those who choose to have it done and wish to maintain its results should try to stay within 10 pounds of their current weight or they risk sabotaging its results. With proper diet and exercise, you can keep your tummy looking smooth and flat without further maintenance.
