Almost every woman dreams of a perfect body shape. This is the reason why they seek different and easy ways to achieve the hourglass body that they want. One of the most popular and easiest ways of achieving the waist wasp body is through an hourglass surgery which includes the tummy tuck procedure. However, even if you are fully decided to undergo this surgical operation, there are measures to be considered.
Some patients who want to get their abdomen be enhanced consider liposuction. Little do they know that not everybody could be a candidate for the said procedure. A physical exam is conducted to determine whether the patient can undergo liposuction or not. The following characteristics are to be considered to tell if you are a possible candidate or not.
- If you are overweight and you have gained or lost weight many times, your skin has been stretched, which means that the only way to remove this excess skin is by cutting the excess skin.
- If you have stretch marks, this is a sign of skin that has lost its elasticity. If you have liposuction in this case, your abdomen is going to look lumpy, bumpy, and uneven.
- If you have been pregnant before, there is a high chance that you will require a tummy tuck, even if you do not have stretch marks. This is because when the expanding uterus stretches the skin, its elasticity is damaged. In addition, pregnancy causes what is called weakness in the abdominal wall, and the tissue between the muscles is stretched significantly, resulting in a separation, which increases the girth of your abdomen.
- If you can grab your abdomen skin and significantly stretch the skin, even if you have not been pregnant or you have a very significant amount of fat, your skin might be very inelastic due to genetic variables. In addition, if you tan routinely, your skin loses elasticity and is damaged.
Before you decide that you will have a tummy tuck, make sure that you understand your skin tone and elasticity as well as the issue of excess skin.
