Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals.<\/p>\n<p>Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes of this include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aging<\/li>\n<li>Heredity<\/li>\n<li>Pregnancy<\/li>\n<li>Prior surgery<\/li>\n<li>Significant fluctuations in weight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What tummy tuck surgery can\u2019t do<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program.<\/p>\n<p>Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, individuals who are planning substantial weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies would be advised to postpone a tummy tuck.<\/p>\n<p>A tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.plasticsurgery.org\/cosmetic-procedures\/tummy-tuck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a tummy tuck?
