If you have extra skin and fat around your tummy, then you may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. It is important for you to have all of the facts before you get a tummy tuck. There are a lot of misconceptions about this procedure.

Myth: You do not Need a Tummy Tuck if you eat Right and Exercise

Fact: A healthy lifestyle will help you maintain a healthy body. However, you may still need a tummy tuck even if you eat right and exercise. A healthy lifestyle will not help you get rid of excess skin. Only a tummy tuck can do this.

Myth: Tummy Tucks are Only For Women

Fact: Most people who get tummy tucks are women, but men can also get this procedure. Studies have shown that more men are opting to get tummy tucks. The abdomen is a common problem area for both men and women.

Myth: I am too Old to Have a Tummy Tuck

Fact: As long as you are healthy, you can get a tummy tuck. There is no age limit. In fact, a healthy 65-year-old is a better candidate for a tummy tuck than a 45-year-old who has a chronic condition.

Myth: I Need a Full Tummy Tuck

Fact: Everyone does not need a full tummy tuck. If most of your fat and excess skin is located below your belly button, then you may be able to get a mini-tummy tuck. This is a tummy tuck that targets the lower region of the abdomen.

Myth: If I Plan on Having More Children, Then I Cannot get a Tummy Tuck

Fact: Future pregnancies can affect the results of a tummy tuck. However, you do not have to wait until you have all of your children to get a tummy tuck.
