Who is a good candidate for Tummy Tuck
Surgery
A tummy tuck simply removes excess fat
and skin, and in most cases restores weakened

profile that is smoother and firmer.
The best candidates for tummy tucks would
be women or men in relatively good shape
who have large fat deposits or loose abdominal
skin that did not respond to diet , exercise
or both. Women who have had multiple pregnancies
and stretched their abdominal muscles
and skin will specially benefit from such
a procedure. Older patients who are obese
and have lost the elasticity of their
skin can also benefit from this procedure.

and weight control. Sometimes these methods
cannot achieve our goals.
Even individuals of otherwise normal body
weight and proportion can develop an abdomen
that protrudes or is loose and sagging.

Tummy tuck surgery is a highly individualized
procedure and you should do it for yourself,
not to fulfill someone else’s desires
or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
