Am I a Candidate for Abdominoplasty in Miami?

A tummy tuck or a mini tummy tuck can retighten stomach muscles that have been stretched beyond their ability to return to their original shape and firmness. A tummy tuck can also eliminate excess folds of skin and reduce the size of our waist. However, not everyone is a good candidate for abdominoplasty.

Appropriate candidates for a tummy tuck at the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery are men and women with abdominal fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise. Such patients are over the age of 18 and mature enough to fully understand the procedure. They are in relatively good health and want to improve the appearance and comfort of their body. Potential tummy tuck patients should not be severely overweight and not be planning to lose a large amount of weight.

Women considering abdominoplasty must not be planning to have any more children. The stomach muscles that are tightened during abdominoplasty can separate once again during pregnancy.

Those with existing scars of the mid-body, such as cesarean scars, along with anyone who is concerned about the scars associated with abdominoplasty can find read more about the subject on our page What About the Scars?

Every potential candidate for abdominoplasty must have realistic expectations. Abdominoplasty can enhance your appearance and even your self-confidence, but the results won't necessarily match your fantasized ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently.
