What Causes Unwanted Midsection Weight Gain?

Sometimes, midsection weight gain is brought on by more than one factor. Some of the components that may or may not be out of your control causing this pressing issue include:

  • Age
  • Genetics
  • Diet and lifestyle
  • Pregnancy and childbirth
  • Certain health conditions
  • Medication side-effects

Each one of these can contribute to a cosmetically unappealing abdominal region. Many of our patients approach us because they experience some of these issues simultaneously and need a solution.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck (medically known as an abdominoplasty) is a complex surgical procedure that permanently removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and midsection region. The tummy tuck is the ideal surgical procedure for patients in New York City who desire a flatter, more toned, and defined abdomen. This treatment can address the following:

  • Permanently tighten loose, sagging, and drooping abdominal skin and tissue
  • Permanently remove excess, stubborn visceral abdominal fat
  • Correct loss of muscular definition
  • Fade away the appearance of stretch marks and other markings

For many of our patients, extra midsection weight is highly concerning from a cosmetic and aesthetic perspective, since it can cause feelings of shame and low self-confidence. Regardless of why you seek this treatment, you should know that our New York office is one of the prime destinations for the tummy tuck procedure.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

Your treatment strategy will be based on your body and on your personal wishes, which will be determined during your initial consultation. When it comes time for the procedure, Dr. Abramson will carefully make an incision from one hip to the other, with an additional incision around the belly button if needed.

From these careful, strategic incisions, he will remove excess and unwanted abdominal skin and fat. As the muscles are brought together, the underlying musculature will be enhanced. Following this, the remaining skin will be tightened and stitched together to give you a trimmer and more toned abdomen.

Some general notes about the tummy tuck we perform in New York include the following:

  • The tummy tuck will be performed under general anesthesia for your comfort
  • Abramson will aim to make incisions in a manner that will conceal your scars as much as possible
  • You should arrange for a ride to and from your procedure; you will not be fit to drive yourself following surgery

A more personalized list of instructions will be given to you during your initial consultation, and we are always available to answer your questions so you are aware of your obligations.

What is Involved in the Recovery?

Your unique recovery will depend on several factors, such as age and health. However, here is what you can generally expect:

  • You will be required to rest for at least three weeks following your procedure, including abstaining from work
  • During your rest period, you will be advised to avoid driving, working, vigorous exercise, or heavy lifting
  • You may also be encouraged to commit to lifestyle changes, including temporarily or permanently quitting smoking and alcohol
  • You will need to drink plenty of fluids
  • If you are provided with compression garments, wear them for the time prescribed to you (usually six to eight weeks)
  • Attend all follow-up appointments as scheduled

In addition to following these guidelines, you should also care for your post-surgery body with a good diet and exercise as directed by Dr. Abramson. Engaging in a healthy and active lifestyle will prolong your beautiful results and prevent fat buildup in the abdominal area.
