Would you get a Tummy Tuck also known as Abdominoplasty?
I know prior to the emergency c-section I had in 1996 I had a flat stomach.
Now, not so much…partially from weight gain, but even with all the planks, burpees, Rev Abs, etc. I still have a pooch over the c-section scar.
Would I consider a tummy tuck myself?
hmmmmm loaded question but probably yes…IF I weren’t so afraid of surgeries, doctors, blood, goop and scars.
During a tummy tuck, loose flabby droopy skin and excess fat are removed and muscles are stretched and tightened to give the patient a flatter tummy.
Just a few of the benefits of getting a tummy tuck:
— A tummy tuck can help get rid of a stubborn belly bulge that has been impossible to remove through diet and exercise.
— A tummy tuck can streamline & sculpt the midsection.
— Get a boost of self-confidence: Some who’ve had the procedure done, say that they experience an improved attitude about themselves, as well as more confidence and better outlook in general because of how they look.
I know I may get bashed a bit from other fitness friends of mine but then again I do know a few runners and trainers who have gone through with the procedure.
Would I?
Probably…like I said, if it weren’t for the fear of dr’s, blood, scars factor (and the money factor) yes I probably would.
Does that mean I want to cheat to get the body I want?
I don’t know.
All I know is I’m still working on my lower ab area and not seeing much improvement.
*sigh*
There are different types of tummy tucks, so if anyone was seriously considering doing one, they should consult with a few physicians and get all the information they can regarding different procedures, risks, advantages, costs, etc.
Apparently people do get tummy tucks and by the numbers.
Though 2010 had less than 2007…economy? or?
But, it’s apparent (at least in 2007) that there were a large number of people having this procedure done.
Would YOU consider a tummy tuck?
Have you had one and want to chime in?

I may or may not do it…just depends on why and who would be performing it
