Achieving a tight, toned core depends on several factors. Your diet has to be proper, to help you lose unwanted body fat and nourish your muscles. Exercise also plays a factor, as your muscles play a large part in the shape of your body. However, there is only so much you can expect these measures to do for your abdomen. Aging, pregnancy and losing weight can all leave you with skin hanging from your midsection, and no amount of calorie restriction or crunches will get rid of it. Fortunately, a tummy tuck in Denver, CO can help you achieve the tight core you’ve worked so hard to get.

Understanding the Procedure

A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, is a surgery designed to remove excess skin and leave you with a tight, flat core. If you are still overweight or out of shape, a tummy tuck may not give you the results you want. If you are unsure about what lies beneath your skin, our surgeon can guide you. If you still need to tighten and tone the muscles of your core, this can also be accomplished through the procedure.

Preparing for a Tummy Tuck

Before your surgery, you need to prepare your body and your life. To prepare your body, you should ideally be in great shape and at a healthy, stable weight. Once your body is ready, you will then need to consider preparing your life for surgery. You will need some time off to fully recover from your tummy tuck. This means you will need to make arrangements to be away from work, school or other commitments. If you have younger children, you’ll need to arrange for another adult to help you care for them.

Recovering from your tummy tuck is usually done at your own home, but you can always arrange to stay with a close friend or relative if you would be more comfortable. Make sure to follow our team’s instructions regarding healing and aftercare, and you’ll be able to enjoy the results of your procedure before you know it.
