Abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a Toronto tummy tuck, is rapidly gaining popularity amongst men and women alike due to its ability to change one’s quality of life by dramatically improving how comfortable one feels in their own skin.
Improved Lifestyle
One of the most common reasons for undergoing a tummy tuck is to eliminate the excess skin left behind following considerable weight loss or childbirth. Loose, sagging skin can have a detrimental impact on your quality of life as it may cause discomfort, look unattractive, hinder your mobility, and make it difficult to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. This can cause a vicious cycle, as a lack of physical activities may result in the development of additional loose skin or stubborn pockets of fat.By targeting the excess skin and fat on the abdomen, a tummy tuck enables patients to take control of their life again, resuming activities such as exercise, swimming, running, and yoga, which may have been difficult or even impossible prior to the procedure. As a result, this surgery allows patients to lead a more active, healthy lifestyle, which benefits their physical and mental health.
Improved Health
As mentioned, a tummy tuck can make physical exercise more comfortable. However, it also reduces risk of infection for those who have a significant apron of skin excess. After massive weight loss, loose skin poses a number of health problems, such as rashes, infections and ulcers. When folds of skin repeatedly rub together, they can cause irritation, and may trap sweat and moisture, which can lead to infections. A Toronto tummy tuck can be used to target the issue of excess abdominal skin, making it easier to keep your stomach clean and therefore boosting your health.
Improved Self-Esteem
In addition to its physical benefits, a tummy tuck can have a tremendous impact on your self-esteem and confidence levels. Following significant weight loss or pregnancy, many individuals struggle with loose, excess skin and weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Unfortunately, diet and exercise alone cannot resolve these issues, as no amount of exercise can eliminate extra skin or repair separated muscles. This can be incredibly discouraging and often takes a toll on a person’s self-image. Luckily, a Toronto tummy tuck is designed to target these concerns as it works to eradicate excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles. In addition to the physical transformation this yields, this procedure often results in a dramatic mental transformation as well, as it allows patients to feel more comfortable in their own skin, thereby boosting their self-esteem. When patients no longer feel self-conscious about their figure, they are more likely to feel confident, which can lead to greater success in their personal and professional lives.To learn more about how this procedure can transform your life, we invite you to contact our clinic to discuss the various benefits of a tummy tuck with Drs.
