Tummy tuck surgeries

Tummy tuck has its reasons, including:

The weakness of the abdominal muscles is the main culprit in the occurrence of sagging abdomen, which occurs as a result of many factors, the most important of which are pregnancy and childbirth, and the sharp drop in weight in particular; after bariatric surgeries.

Abdominal sagging is not limited to those who suffer from obesity, but may also occur to those who suffer from thinness, because it occurs as a result of muscle weakness.

Lifting sagging surgeries are performed after weight stability to ensure that sagging does not appear again.

Do not spoil the joy of losing weight in the form of annoying sagging, which greatly affects your appearance, your psyche, and your choice of clothes.

Smoking must be completely stopped at least two weeks before the operation because of its harmful effect on wound healing.

Also, the patient avoids medications that affect blood thinners, such as aspirin, to avoid bleeding during and after the operation.
