Generally, most people love the new look after they’ve undergone this procedure; however, you may not feel like your normal self for months after the surgery. You’ve gone through a tremendous amount to make this happen. It is a big commitment, emotionally, physically and financially. It is very important that you follow proper diet and exercise to maintain your new look.

How long you maintain your abdominioplasty tends to be limited only by how well you take care of your body following surgery. Under the proper conditions, the results of a tummy tuck can last for many years. The two factors that most directly affect the longevity of tummy tuck benefits are pregnancy and weight gain. While any woman who has had a tummy tuck procedure may elect to have more children, during the pregnancy and subsequent birth, the skin of the abdomen will stretch and the abdominal muscles will lose their firmness. She will likely have to undergo another tummy tuck surgery to recapture the initial improvements to her body’s appearance.

The same is true of any significant weight gain. Although age does decrease the skin’s natural elasticity over time, the strain of excess body fat content is the most common cause of dramatically sagging skin. Living a healthy and active lifestyle will safeguard your tummy tuck benefits, for at least a decade after your initial surgery and probably longer.
