Fluctuations in weight, pregnancy, and the natural aging process can leave behind a layer of loose, sagging skin that no amount of diet or exercise seems to resolve. A tummy tuck at Yonick Plastic Surgery in Midland, MI can be a great solution for taking back your figure and gaining a slimmer waistline. While a tummy tuck (also called abdominoplasty) is not a weight loss treatment, it is a plastic surgery procedure performed to get rid of loose, flabby skin, minimize stretch marks, and reshape and tighten the stomach area. Many patients who choose to undergo a full or mini tummy tuck often wonder how long their results might last and whether future weight gain could ruin their treatment results. Double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. David Yonick is an expert at performing full and mini tummy tucks, and helping patients achieve their cosmetic goals. He understands these concerns and works individually with each patient to help them enjoy lasting plastic surgery results. Read on as our Midland, MI plastic surgeon explains further details about what to expect when it comes to a tummy tuck and weight gain.

Maintaining proper nutrition is essential for your entire body. Choosing foods, like fresh vegetables, fruits, lean protein, and whole grains, can help you keep your weight stable. Drinking an appropriate amount of water to stay well-hydrated is also important to your overall health. Exercise regularly. During the tummy tuck recovery phase, it’s essential to avoid strenuous physical activities. Dr. Yonick will advise you of when you can resume a normal level of exercise. Keeping up with a regular fitness routine can help keep your body toned and in good shape. Keep a healthy, stable weight. Keeping your weight stable is a major component in maintaining your tummy tuck results. If you’re exercising regularly and eating a well-balanced diet, yet you’re still gaining weight, a visit with your physician may be warranted to rule out weight gain due to certain medications or health conditions. Make healthy lifestyle choices. Avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and other unhealthy lifestyle choices can also help support good overall wellness and keep your weight under control.
