Tummy Tuck Before and After

Men and women can have protruding abdomens and excess skin for a number of reasons, from weight loss to childbirth. If you cannot lose this excess skin and fat through diet and exercise, then a tummy tuck cosmetic procedure may be necessary to achieve the results that you are looking for. The mini tummy tuck is designed specifically to remove loose skin and excess fat from the lower abdomen, and it does not involve repositioning the navel.

When you have an initial consultation with a surgeon, he or she will sit down with you and listen to what you are looking for from your cosmetic procedure. They will show you before and after photos to show you exactly what a tummy tuck can do for you. They will also gather specific information about your general overall health, age, gender, and other factors before quoting you a price on the procedure.

The surgeon will also discuss payment options with you. Most surgeons' offices offer financing and installment payment plans for their services, making them more affordable. Then, the time and date of the surgery will be scheduled. Before, during, and after the procedure, your surgeon will take photos of your abdomen so that you have detailed before and after photos to demonstrate the effects of the tummy tuck.
