When you think of a tummy tuck, getting a sleeker, more toned stomach is probably the first benefit that comes to mind. But this popular body contouring procedure isn’t just about looks. In fact, there are quite a few tummy tuck benefits that could have you feeling as good as you look.
Reduced Back Pain
Weaken abdominal muscles tend to result in some level of back pain, because they are the primary support system for your spine. Sometimes, this can also cause a condition called lordosis, or “sway back.”
With a tummy tuck, your core muscles are repaired and tightened, which provides added spinal support and can therefore help to reduce back pain.
Better Posture
Another component of strong abdominal muscles and adequate support for your spine is your posture. If you find that it’s very difficult to maintain proper posture, even if you are consciously trying to sit or stand up straight,weakened or damaged core muscles could be to blame. When these muscles are repaired after abdominoplasty, you just might find that it’s much easier to strengthen your core and maintain good posture.
Consider adding liposuction to your tummy tuck for even better results.
Improved Fitness Efforts
Excess skin and weak core muscles can make it uncomfortable and difficult to do certain exercises, so your tummy tuck may help to make it easier to do certain exercises. While people of both sexes can see many benefits of abdominoplasty, it’s often men who seek male plastic surgery as part of achieving very defined abdominal musculature.
Additionally, many people find a newfound motivation to eat healthy and stay fit after a tummy tuck so they can continue enjoying their same great tummy tuck results for years to come.
