Medical Benefits of Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as tummy tuck, offers great cosmetic benefit. It makes you look better, gives you a much better profile, improves your self-confidence and quality of life. Did you know that there are medical benefits too in getting a tummy tuck?

Here are a few important medical benefits of a tummy tuck.

Improves posture

After a tummy tuck procedure, your posture will see a dramatic improvement. This may be because you gain confidence and get comfortable with your body. You will maintain better vertebral column angles, and this will prevent future back pain and back problems.

Repairs abdominal wall hernias

During an abdominoplasty excess fat and skin in the abdomen area are removed. Further the abdominal muscles are also tightened. This effectively strengthens the abdominal wall. If you have an existing hernia, it can be repaired during an abdominoplasty with great results.

Reduces stress incontinence

If you suffer from stress incontinence, a tummy tuck can help improve your condition. Correction of excessively drooping belly and hernia help in reducing urinary incontinence.

Reduces skin problems

Sagging skin tends to fold and rub together. This can lead to uncomfortable skin rashes. When you undergo a tummy tuck, the excess skin and fat are surgically removed. The elimination of sag will relieve your skin from constant rubbing and rashes.

Better quality of life

After an abdominoplasty, you will be in a more positive frame of mind, have a better body image and will feel free to pursue many more activities. Your eating habits will improve. Better sexual relations and better psychological health along with better physical health will give you a better quality of life.

If you are considering a tummy tuck, these reasons will help you make a decision. A tummy tuck is good for you not only from a cosmetic point of view but also from a health point of view.
