You Can Have Your Candy … Now and Then

LET’S TALK TUMMY TUCKS

With Halloween coming up, we’re here to tell you that it’s okay to enjoy a piece or two of your favorite candy — after all, it wouldn’t be Halloween if you didn’t! Your fat loss, weight maintenance, or post-op recovery goals won’t be ruined if you do! Let us explain! One of the most common procedures to quickly remove excess fat around the abdomen area is a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck mainly combats excess skin or fat and stretched-out tissue around the stomach. For many, tummy tucks are an extremely effective option for removing that “spare tire” appearance, but there are limitations to how much fat can be removed.

Subcutaneous fat is located between the skin and the outer abdominal wall while visceral fat is found in between the organs. Visceral fat is considered to be the “bad fat” that results from overindulging over a long period of time; it can’t be removed with a tummy tuck — the only surefire way to reverse visceral fat is with diet and exercise. However, with a tummy tuck, the subcutaneous fat can either be pulled down or removed. The process is fairly simple. An incision is made around the C-section line or below it in the suprapubic area of the abdomen. During the procedure, the belly button stays in place and everything else around it is lifted up and, starting up near the breasts, all subcutaneous fat and loose skin is pulled down, similar to pulling down a window

shade. Once everything reaches the bottom, tissue and fat are removed and the patient is stitched back up with a much flatter and attractively contoured abdomen. Many times, tummy tucks are done in conjunction with liposuction for the sides and love handles to avoid what we call a “SpongeBob SquarePants” appearance with a flat stomach and boxy sides. The recovery time is relatively short — within about 1–2 weeks — and patients can expect to return to normal activity, avoiding any abdomen- targeted exercises for about three months. For more information about tummy tucks, liposuction, or any other procedures, give us a call today! We are always ready to help you decide which procedures are right for you!

Within our bodies, there are two types of fat: subcutaneous and visceral.
