Summer is the season of baring it all. If you’re dreading wearing a bathing suit that will expose your tummy this summer, don’t worry, you still have time to reshape your figure and in turn, regain your confidence.

Aging, pregnancy, excess skin, and weight gain can prevent you from having a flat, athletic tummy. If you’re one of the countless people who are unhappy with their protruding belly, a tummy tuck can help you achieve a summer-ready body.

What Can a Tummy Tuck Do for You

The tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that tightens the abdomen, reduces stubborn pockets of fat, and removes excess skin. A tummy tuck can do wonders for your figure. A tummy tuck:

  • Restores a tight and flat stomach
  • Reduces your waist line and inches
  • Acts like an internal girdle, permanently tightening abdominal muscles
  • Reduces the visibility of stretch marks
  • Gets rid of excess fat and skin

Why Undergo a Tummy Tuck Together with Exercise and Diet

We’re frequently asked if patients can achieve results similar to a tummy tuck with diet and exercise. The truth is loose skin and loose abdominal muscles don’t respond to crunches or dieting. Once the skin has stretched, it cannot be reversed without undergoing a surgical procedure. Thankfully, the tummy tuck tightens the abdominal muscles while also removing excess fat and skin.

Why Get a Tummy Tuck This Summer?

Want to show your newly sculpted body off this summer? Then you should consider starting your tummy tuck journey now. It takes a few weeks before patients can return to work after the tummy tuck, and it takes a few months for the swelling to completely dissipate. Once that’s passed, you’ll be able to show off your sleek new figure at the beaches.

You’ve heard the phrase “tummy tuck” from gossip mags and pop culture, but what does it do exactly? A tummy tuck is a powerful body contouring procedure that improves the appearance of the abdomen. Stubborn fat and excess skin on the belly can be almost impossible to fix without invasive surgery, which is why the tummy tuck is considered one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the industry. Of course, you don’t have to be a celebrity to get a tummy tuck, but if you’re wondering if it’s the right procedure for you, take a look at what it takes to be a good candidate for the tummy tuck.

What Can a Tummy Tuck Do?

In a world that values flat and toned stomachs, a tummy tuck is one of the best solutions for narrowing the waist and contouring the abdomen. Using an incision above your pubic area, your surgeon will remove excess skin and fat and tighten the abdominal muscles to create a more athletically contoured abdomen.

Should I Get a Tummy Tuck?

Do you have a round, protruding belly due to loose abdominal muscles? Do you have excess skin and stubborn deposits of fat that make it impossible for you to have a flat abdomen and a narrow waist? What about unsightly stretch marks or scars on the belly? Then the tummy tuck just might be the right procedure for you. Keep in mind, the tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, and the ideal candidate for the tummy tuck should be close to their ideal weight.

Am I A Good Candidate for the Mini Tummy Tuck?

A small deposit of fat below the bellybutton might not seem like enough of a reason to get a full tummy tuck, but that small pocket of fat can still prevent you from having a more toned and athletic figure. Thankfully, a variant of the tummy tuck called the mini tummy tuck is perfect for people who have localized pockets of fat on the lower abdomen. The mini tummy tuck also has the added benefit of creating a shorter scar than traditional tummy tuck techniques.

Cohera Medical of Pennsylvania announced the beginning of clinical trials for their new surgical adhesive, TissuGlu®, set to begin in Germany this November.

Company reps say they’re investigating whether the safety and efficacy of cosmetic surgeries like the tummy tuck might be improved with the use of their product.  By bonding together sections of tissue separated during surgery, the adhesive could reduce post operative fluid accumulation and make drains unnecessary.

“This unique product will ultimately help surgeons address a critical need and improve patient care” says CEO Patrick Daly.

As many as 40 patients are expected to be enrolled in clinical trials to investigate TissuGlu’s  safety and efficacy.
