The stomach is a problem area for many people. Although it would be nice to have six-pack abs, most people just want a stomach they can feel proud to show off in a bathing suit. And sometimes, fat pouches are hard to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. For this reason, many patients come to our Los Angeles plastic surgeon to see if they are a candidate for a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck can dramatically improve the appearance of your stomach, so you can have a body you will be proud to show off.
Before we can proceed with the actual surgery, your doctor will need to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. This means you will need to schedule an initial consultation where the surgeon will evaluate your overall health to make sure you are healthy enough to go through surgery. This involves going through your medical history to see if you have any prior health conditions and evaluating any medications you are currently taking.
During this initial consultation, you can ask your surgeon to look at tummy tuck before and after pictures so that you can see the results others have achieved. It is important to have realistic expectations about what can be gained from this surgery, and browsing through these kinds of photos can be a great way to know what your stomach will look like following the treatment.
