Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Here at Best Impression Cosmetic Surgery in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, board-certified surgeon Dr. Vivian Hsu and the team guide you through each step of your tummy tuck journey. Whether you’re reclaiming your body after weight changes or looking to refine your silhouette, we’re here to help.
What’s a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from your abdomen while tightening weakened or separated muscles. These changes result in a smoother, firmer midsection, making it a popular choice for individuals looking to restore their abdominal shape and confidence.
The procedure is especially common after significant weight loss or pregnancy, which can compromise skin elasticity and muscle tone.
Who’s an ideal candidate?
Not everyone is an immediate candidate for a tummy tuck. At Best Impression Cosmetic Surgery, we conduct personalized consultations to help determine what’s best for you. Ideal candidates typically:
Struggle with excess skin or fat
If diet and exercise haven’t worked on that stubborn belly fat or sagging skin, a tummy tuck may help.
Have recently experienced weight fluctuations
Whether you’ve gone through pregnancy or significant weight loss, these changes can result in loose, unresponsive skin.
Are in good overall health
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure, so good health with no underlying conditions is crucial.
Have realistic expectations
While the procedure can enhance your abdominal shape, it’s essential to have a realistic understanding of the results.
Are finished growing their families
For the best long-term results, it’s ideal if you’ve completed your pregnancies before considering a tummy tuck.
During your consultation, Dr. Hsu evaluates your health, personal goals, and specific needs to ensure a tummy tuck aligns with your expectations.
Benefits of a tummy tuck
A tummy tuck is more than just a cosmetic enhancement. Other benefits include:
- Flatter, firmer abdomen: Enjoy a smoother, tighter stomach that clothing fits beautifully over.
- Improved core strength: Repaired abdominal muscles lead to improved posture and strength.
- Better self-confidence: Many individuals feel more attractive and confident afterward.
According to studies, patients who underwent a tummy tuck reported significant satisfaction with their results, with many noting improved self-esteem and quality of life.
