Discover a New You with a Tummy Tuck in Sydney

An abdominoplasty procedure, more commonly referred to as a “tummy tuck”, is not for everyone. If you are planning on participating in a program that will result in significant weight loss, or if you have plans to become pregnant in the future, then such weight fluctuation events will have a negative effect on the outcome of having a tummy tuck. However, if you are looking for a firmer abdomen, have a passion for exercise on a regular basis and are in reasonably good health, then you may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck in Sydney.

That Well-Toned Look is Just a Click or a Phone Call Away

Many women work out on a regular, sometimes daily basis. One of their goals is to keep the stomach area toned and flat. But, sometimes, no matter how hard or how often you exercise, a fair amount of excess skin or fat tissue around the lower abdomen prevents you from having that all-around great-looking body. When that happens, it’s time to schedule a one-on-one consultation with A/Prof Damian Marucci, Sydney’s leading cosmetic plastic reconstructive surgeon.

What Causes a Flabby Abdomen?

Having excess fat tissue or too much skin around your lower abdomen can be a result of a less than healthy lifestyle. Also, as you age your skin loses its firmness and you find it more difficult to lose weight. The weight you gain during pregnancy seems to hang around your tummy area. Some women aren’t overweight at all, but the skin that has stretched with pregnancy hasn’t snapped back to the tight abs that were there before. Or, in some cases, it may not be any fault of yours. Excess stomach skin or fat may be a hereditary issue.

The Tummy Tuck Can Be a Life-Changer

After your consultation and examination with Dr. Marucci, if together he and you decide that a tummy tuck in Sydney is right for you, then you are on your way to smoother, flatter, tighter abs. This procedure is especially popular with women who have had children and are no longer planning on becoming pregnant. A tummy tuck can be performed in one of three ways:

• Abdominoplasty, which is the surgical removal of excess skin while restoring weakened muscles around the abdomen; or
• Liposuction, by which excess fat is suctioned out from beneath the skin; or
• Both! And this third “lipoabdominoplasty” is the exact procedure that Dr Marucci prefers, giving his patients the best of both worlds.

Will I Notice Immediate Results After a Tummy Tuck?

You will notice a big change straight away. It may take up to six months or more to fully recover from a tummy tuck procedure in terms of the final swelling subsiding. Once completely healed, the new, eye-appealing contours of your tummy area should be permanent except, of course, for any effects that may occur during the natural aging process. You will need to make follow-up visits to see Dr. Marucci to ensure you are healing properly.
