Are You a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty?

Tummy Tuck surgery can benefit a number of people. Both men and women experience sagging skin and stubborn pockets of fat around their midsection. Women may also find that after child birth, their abdominal muscles have become stretched or separated. Abdominoplasty can correct and improve these abdominal imperfections.

If you are considering abdominoplasty, you may wonder if you are a good candidate for the procedure. While the only way to know for sure if you are a good candidate for the procedure is a consultation with Dr. Hardaway, there are a few general guidelines one may consider.

Both men and women make good candidates for Tummy Tuck surgery. Women who have had children and are simply unable to achieve their pre baby midsection may benefit from abdominoplasty. Patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their midsection after weight loss should have met their weight loss goals prior to tummy tuck surgery.

A consultation with Dr. Hardaway will help you better understand what can be achieved through abdominoplasty. In some cases liposuction may be performed in conjunction with abdominoplasty to produce optimal results.
