Tummy Tuck and Hysterectomy Can Be Safely Combined

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat and restores separated or weakened muscles to form a firm and smooth abdomen. This procedure has gained popularity over the years due to its effectiveness in shedding stubborn abdominal fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. But that’s not all the procedure can achieve! Let’s find out why everyone is getting tummy tucks.

1. To Remove Excess Skin

Pregnancy and large fluctuations in weight may cause your stomach skin to lose elasticity, resulting in an unsightly appearance. Restoring the original appearance of the skin after it has been stretched is difficult. Many men and women seek tummy tuck procedures because they are tired of trying to hide their loose skin under their waist. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marvin Shienbaum has great expertise in removing excess skin during a tummy tuck procedure, leaving you with a well-contoured abdomen.

2. To Tighten Muscles

If your abdominal muscles have experienced stretching, a tummy tuck can tighten them back to their original state. Other conditions, such as pregnancy, can cause your muscles to spread apart, a condition called diastasis. During a tummy tuck, Dr. Shienbaum will pull abdominal muscles together to make a firm and tight abdomen.

3. To Remove Excess Fat

During abdominoplasty, Dr. Shienbaum can remove stubborn, excess fat in the abdomen or around your stomach using liposuction. Liposuction reduces bleeding and the likelihood of excessive drainage. Although tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, it can help you shed that final pouch of fat that doesn’t respond to your diet and exercise routine.

4. To Remove Scars

The tummy tuck procedure helps in the removal of scars around your stomach. Women who had undergone a C-section are getting abdominoplasty to make sure the scar disappears. Also, other scars from accidents or hernia and appendectomy surgeries may be able to be eliminated through a tummy tuck.

5. To Treat Urinary Incontinence

Another reason why people are getting a tummy tuck is its ability to improve stress urinary incontinence (SUI). This is a urinary bladder condition that occurs when there is excess pressure on the bladder and urethra. This condition might cause bladder leakage. Even though SUI is not surgically treated, a tummy tuck can be beneficial in helping to treat this condition.

6. To Improve Posture and Reduce Back Pain

Some people are getting tummy tuck to firm their abdomen and alleviate back pain caused by having weak core muscles. Significant loss of weight can weaken your abdominal muscles, resulting in back pain. By getting rid of fat and tightening abdominal muscles, the abdomen is better able to offer support, which lessens pain. Some patients also report having better posture after the procedure.

7. To Repair Hernia

A hernia happens when an internal organ pushes through to the surface via an opening in the tissue or muscle. When you visit Dr. Shienbaum, he will examine you to determine whether a tummy tuck can repair the hernia. He can also detect the hernia during your abdominoplasty consultation.

8. To Improve Confidence

Excess fat and skin may make you feel embarrassed or reduce your self-esteem. Tummy tuck helps you to restore your shape and to boost your confidence because it gives you a shapely and toned midsection. This can help heighten your self-esteem and make you feel good about your body once again.
