Signs Your Body Could Use a Tummy Tuck

Both liposuction and tummy tuck are often used interchangeably. However, they are NOT the same. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that uses suction for effective removal of isolated pockets of subcutaneous fat. In short, this stubborn fat does not react well to exercise or diet. Liposuction helps in removing the excess fat present around the waistline as well as the lower abdomen for the emiratis.

However, the treatment method is not viable for removing the excess skin or treat the weak muscles that make the abdomen bulge. On the other hand, a tummy tuck removes the excess skin and tightens the loose muscle to give a toned shape that results in a well-shaped body.

If the idea of getting a tummy tuck in Dubai is going through your mind, here are a few signs you should go ahead with it:

Loose Skin Around the Abdomen

Sure, the tummy tuck targets stubborn fat packets. For that, you need to have excess skin around your abdomen. Since you will be subjected to a large incision for the procedure, lack of excess skin could lead to tension in the scar, and giving a stretched look. Got excess skin below the belly button? You can get a tummy tuck.

You Have Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are normal to a certain degree. If they are big and rather prominent that make you feel conscious of wearing swimwear or crop tops, you can talk to a plastic surgeon in Dubai regarding the options you are available with. And one of them is a tummy tuck that will help you remove the stretch marks and those which can’t be removed shall be on the lower abdomen area.

Having a Good Health

There is not much risk involved with the tummy tuck procedure. But if you have underlying health issues, you should not be going for a tummy tuck. You need to have a healthy heart and lungs as you are going to be sedated with general anesthesia. Also, autoimmune disorders and connective tissue disorders hinder healing. If your skin is prone to developing raised and thick scars, discuss with the doctor first.

Your Skin Has Lost its Elasticity

If your skin has little or no elasticity left, the best way to solve this issue is through a tummy tuck. The procedure removes fat from behind the loose skin without changing its appearance.  Diet and experience are not going to make a difference in looks. Pregnancy and massive weight loss can lead to skin laxity. What happens is that pregnancy and obesity damage the abdominal muscles and stretch the skin around the belly. This leads to the tissues hanging loose. Getting a tummy tuck surgery in Dubai helps repair these tissues.

Your Muscles Are Not Longer Supporting You

If exercise fails to do anything for your abdominal muscles, it has a lot more than mere extra flab. To strengthen your core and provide you with the support you need, a tummy tuck is the best option. The process shall separate the layers of skin and fat from the muscle and pull the muscle together achieving a flatter and firmer appearance of the stomach.

If you can relate to any of the conditions above, you are a candidate for a tummy tuck! Also, it’s not only your stomach that may need a tuck in. Moreover, if you have sagging skin on your neck or face, you could get ultherapy, a non-surgical alternative to a facelift that boosts collagen production for supple skin.

Be it your face or any other part of your body, make sure that you consult the best surgeon first before moving ahead with any of the procedures.
