Tummy Tuck in Chicago – Common Questions Answered

Are you troubled by a stubborn belly area? Excessive fat tissue in the upper and the lower abdomen can be annoying, and so can excess skin. A sudden loss of weight or after birth in most women are among the significant causes of a protruded belly. Most people have considered dieting and working out, but they haven’t got their desired results. A tummy tuck in Chicago is a treatment that can give you a more sculpted abdomen.

A tummy tuck has become one of the most popular treatments in the united states and all over the world. It’s a process performed to get rid of excess fat and skin on the abdomen. Here are some of the most common questions answered about a tummy tuck in Chicago;

1. Am I a Good Candidate?
You should consider getting a tummy tuck if you have extra skin or fat over your belly. The troublesome fat on the abdomen mostly results from weight fluctuations, pregnancies, previous belly surgeries and aging. An ideal candidate may be a woman who has finished having children, but men may also enjoy this after weight loss or for other reasons. You should get this procedure done for yourself and not for someone else to make them happy.

The perfect candidate should be in good health before receiving the treatment. Our staff will review your past surgical and medical history, and your anatomy, to ensure you can receive the treatment. Also, the patient should ideally be at or near the weight they prefer to maintain.

2. Can a Tummy Tuck Be Combined with Other Procedures?
Most patients ask if this the treatment can make their fat away. However, it depends on a number of factors. The good news is this procedure can easily be combined with other procedures like liposuction for those who qualify.

3. What are the Expected Results?

Since tummy tucks are surgical procedures, patients should have the patience for their body to heal. The results of this treatment are designed to be dramatic and long-lasting. Once you have fully recovered, you will begin to notice the incredible results.

Supposing as you maintain a stable weight and don’t get pregnant, then the results could be relatively permanent. That is because this treatment is typically a once-and-done procedure.
