Stomach In, Fat Out

For a lot of people, the battle of the bulge may be a long standing impasse. Because of genetics, despite a healthy lifestyle, fat tends to accumulate in the tummy area which is a source of frustration for a lot of individuals. Sometimes, despite having an overall slim appearance,
the tummy may be a source of a problem area causing restriction on some clothing items. The battle with the tummy bulge therefore has an effect on the quality of one’s life and dictates how one enjoys it.

Genetically blessed

For some individuals who may not have had to worry about tummy bulges may still have the problem after some time because age takes a toll on the skin’s elasticity and over the years, one may find themselves with an unsightly sagging bulge where their taught tummy used to be.

Stress of birthing

Mothers may also find that after giving birth and losing the weight they put on while pregnant, their tummy still hasn’t gone back to its old appearance. And no matter how much diet and exercise is done, this problem can no longer be reversed.

Fortunately, with the proliferation of new technology, innovative procedures have come to fro to help individuals battle the tummy bulge and say goodbye to it once and for all.

Full proof solution

Liposuction on the tummy will achieve what diet and exercise cannot do. Not only will the procedure remove the excess fat from an individual’s stomach but it can also be combined seamlessly with a tummy tuck procedure that enables the surgeon to tighten and pull the excess skin of the stomach due to loss of elasticity from all the years carrying the excess pounds.
There is nothing that pregnancy, wear and tear and even age can do that can’t be reversed and improved by liposuction and a tummy tuck.

What it can’t do

Despite all its many benefits, a liposuction combined with a tummy tuck has its limitations as well. For instance, it can not remove the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen but may actually reduce its appearance depending on its location on your stomach.

Visible proof

However, there are other markings that will occur because of liposuction combined with a tummy tuck. Scars that an individual has to endure for this procedure will occur across the lower part of the abdomen, stretching across the area above the bikini line. There will also be small incisions where the probe for liposuction would be inserted. Some people will scar more discretely than the rest but over all, a flat and taught tummy will make the individual look and feel better with or without the minor scarring.

Recovering towards a taught tummy

To undergo the procedure of tummy liposuction combined with a tuck, one has to go under general anesthesia and the surgical procedure usually takes one to three hours. The more work done on the individual’s abdomen, the more severe the pain that will be experienced after the procedure
and may have to take prescription pain control for about a week. Combined with the pain from the tuck, bruising from the liposuction procedure will occur.

It will take about a month for the tummy to look presentable after the procedure. It will also about this long before one can engage in strenuous activities that involve lifting and such. But within a year or around that time, your scars would have matured and your final result will
be worth all the pain.
