A Toronto Tummy Tuck Means No More Sucking It In!

By Jerome Edelstein, MD

As the season of sunshine and beaches approaches, everyone is dreaming of having a tight, flat tummy that will look amazing in a new bikini or swimsuit – including you. However, no amount of intense dieting or rigorous exercise has been able to achieve the body that you want because there is stubborn fat and skin hanging around your waistline. Guess you will have to just hold your breath while tanning by the shore.

Or maybe not. At Edelstein Cosmetic, our medical staff’s expertise in a Toronto tummy tuck can be a solution for creating your flat and nicely-toned abdomen. Tummy tucks, or also referred to as abdominoplasty by medical professionals, is a common plastic surgery that permanently removes the excess, loose skin and fat around the abdominal area while tightening the weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Thus, with a Toronto tummy tuck from Edelstein Cosmetics, it means that there is no more need for sucking it in because we can just tuck it in!

After a Toronto tummy tuck surgery, you will be able to celebrate and enjoy your new body, all year-round. There will be no more need for holding your breath in whether you are wearing a bikini or a tight, holiday party dress. Neither will there be a need for girdles or corsets in order to produce that nice, trimmed waistline that you wish you had.We know loose, hanging skin and excess fat can be caused by a significant weight loss, multiple pregnancies and childbirths or simply through aging, so regardless of its cause, the unflattering appearance of sagging skin in your abdominal area is no longer a problem that you need to think about – especially since a Toronto tummy tuck procedure is suitable for men and women of all ages.

So, how does it work? A Toronto tummy tuck procedure is generally two to three hours long and you will be under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Your plastic surgeon will create an incision over the lower part of the abdomen. Once this is completed, the muscles are stitched together with sutures. Next, the skin is stretched over the abdomen in order to give a flat and tight appearance. Excess skin is removed, and any unwanted fat can be eliminated with liposuction, another cosmetic procedure commonly done in conjuncture with a tummy tuck that uses a small cannula and vacuum to fix problem areas.

Finally, the skin is sutured and the incision sites are closed. Your plastic surgeon will wrap an elastic bandage around the surgical site to provide protection and promote healing.

The results of the Toronto tummy tuck will be visible almost immediately, but the body will need some time to heal.After a successful surgery and the final outcomes have settled in after adequate amounts of recovery time, it is advised that you maintain a healthy lifestyle with a nutritious and well-balanced diet, as well as regular exercise to maintain the appearance of your new, flat tummy.If you are interested in achieving your goals for improved body contour and want to try a Toronto tummy tuck, consider Edelstein Cosmetic.
