Having children and the weight fluctuations that come with it can impact the appearance of a woman’s abdomen. Stretch marks, loose skin, and sagging can make you feel insecure. While this may not impact your stomach during your 20s and 30s, it can sneak up on you in your 40s. However, there are effective cosmetic procedures and treatments that can help restore the look of your body. Below you will find how a tummy tuck is the best procedure for your 40s.

How a Tummy Tuck Is the Best Procedure for Your 40s

For women who have had children or gained and lost a large amount of weight, you may notice changes in your abdomen area. While diet and exercise can help get your body into good shape, it cannot address everything. Sagging skin and stretch marks can impact your abdomen and your self-confidence. In addition to the outer impacts of pregnancy and weight gain, the connective tissue and muscles under your skin can become stretched and also impact how your abdomen looks.

This is why a tummy tuck in Beverly Hills is a beneficial procedure to get in your 40s. Most women are done bearing children which makes it a perfect time to rejuvenate their appearance. A tummy tuck, also known as “abdominoplasty,” is a cosmetic surgery that removes the fat and excess skin from your stomach. In addition to the fat and skin removal, the underlying connective tissues can also be tightened up. The remaining skin is then positioned which creates a more toned and flat stomach. It is a safe and effective cosmetic surgery that offers a number of benefits.

Benefits Of A Tummy Tuck

There are a number of physical and mental health benefits that come with a tummy tuck. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your abdomen, consider the following benefits of a tummy tuck.

Flatter Abdomen:

A tummy tuck can tighten muscles that have been stretched out. Depending on the state of your abdomen, the muscles can also be separated to create a flatter and more toned look. Additionally, the excess skin is removed. This can leave you looking amazing with your regular clothing, and in a bikini.

Reduces Stretch Marks:

The vast majority of people experience stretch marks in their lifetime. The risk for stretch marks is even higher if you have been pregnant or have gained a lot of weight. Because tummy tucks remove a lot of the excess skin, it can reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

Improves Posture:

When your muscles are separated (before a tummy tuck) it can impact your core strength and place a burden on your back. During a tummy tuck your abdominal muscles are pulled together and reattached. This offers a variety of benefits, including reducing your lower back pain.

Increased Self-Esteem:

Feeling unhappy with your appearance can negatively impact your confidence. This is especially true for women as there are serious societal pressures to “bounce back” and look just like you did before have a baby. With that, a tummy tuck can improve your physical appearance and your self-esteem.
