Tummy Tuck in NJ | Who is a Good Candidate?

Tummy Tuck in NJ

Tummy tuck surgery is a very individualized procedure right for many of the men and women who feel dissatisfied with their figure. If you are looking for a tummy tuck in NJ, get in touch with the experts at Colen MD Plastic Surgery in Manhattan, NY today to schedule your free initial consultation. Our friendly professionals will give you professional advice on how a tummy tuck can help you achieve your goals.

What Is A Tummy Tuck? 

Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as tummy tuck surgery, removes excess skin and fat while restoring separated and weakened muscles creating a smoother and firmer abdominal profile.

Am I A Good Candidate? 

A tummy tuck in NJ is a procedure which is highly individualized. Schedule a free consultation with an expert, and you will receive medical advice specific to your unique situation and needs. Today, we will discuss general guidelines about what makes a good candidate.

You Have Given Birth or Lost Weight

Both obesity and pregnancy can damage your abdominal muscles and stretch the skin around your stomach. These are permanently damaged, and your skin will continue to hang loosely even after you deliver your baby or reach a healthy weight range. Abdominoplasty is an option to repair the damaged tissue, accurately reflecting your healthy weight.

You Are at a Healthy Weight

The ideal candidate is within 15 to 20 pounds of their goal weight before undergoing tummy tuck surgery. It is okay if you continue to lose weight after your procedure, but if you lose over 30 pounds, you risk negating the effects of your procedure as you may experience sagging muscles and excess skin.

You Have Realistic Expectations

Tummy tuck surgery is not a weight loss procedure. It removes excess skin, but it does not remove fat. Expect an incredible impact on your appearance and self-confidence, but you will need to eat healthy foods and maintain a regular exercise routine to maintain the results of your tummy tuck.

Schedule A Tummy Tuck In NJ

If you feel dissatisfied with the appearance of your abdomen and think a tummy tuck in NJ is the solution for you, contact the experts at Colen MD Plastic Surgery in Manhattan, NY to schedule your initial consultation. If you are a good candidate, we will walk you through what to expect before, during and after the procedure and what you can do to make the process seamless.
