Tummy Tuck

More Beachfront Confidence With a Tummy Tuck
2

• When it comes to swimsuit season, there are
  enough reasons that keep people away from the
  shoreline. Perhaps it's not spending enough time
  working out in the months before summer, only to
  realize that the other beachfront competition has
  already toned all abs and thinned down everywhere
  else.

3

• Or maybe after seasons and seasons of successful
  time frolicking about in the water, one bad
  winter or a post-pregnancy body has you ready to
  sit this sunshine out.

• No matter what the reason might be for not
  wanting to hit the beach, one of the most
  unfortunate reasons that people give for not
  hitting the beach during the summer is handling a
  post-weight loss body.
• The trouble here is not necessarily fat, per say,
  but rather the fact that there may be excess
  skin.

5

• Whether it's a woman getting used to a
  post-pregnancy body or a man who has recently
  dropped a considerable amount of weight but feels
  uncomfortable shirtless, there are plenty of
  people who are just one step away from that
  confidence needed to hit the beach or the local
  pool during hotter months.

• Thankfully, from Miami to St. Louis, tummy tuck
  procedures are becoming more and more common.
• Rather than liposuction, which actually removes
  layers of fat from under the skin, a tummy tuck
  gets rid of excess skin that might have gathered
  as a result of aging, pregnancy, or a rapid and
  substantial weight loss.

7

• This means that anyone who is planning or hoping
  to lose a bit of weight should look to other
  procedures, as a tummy tuck focuses more on what
  to do with the excess skin that remains after a
  substantial weight loss.

8

• Likewise, those patients who are planning on
  having more children or who are midway through a
  weight-loss regime might want to wait a bit
  before undergoing a tummy tuck, in order to see
  the best results.

• For men who are concerned about their appearance,
  a tummy tuck is often the best possible procedure
  to get back in shape and looking great.
• Part of the aging process, especially for those
  who have successfully managed to lose weight, is
  a loss of elasticity in skin around the
  midsection.

10

• This means that sometimes losing weight doesn't
  end up looking as great as it should. For men who
  plan on exercising but just need that extra boost
  towards looking toner and more trim, this is the
  perfect solution to excess skin that allows
  anyone to show off a great new physique.
