How to Determine if a Tummy Tuck Is Right for You

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, involves removing excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen so the stomach is tighter. Women who have given birth or lost a lot of weight are common candidates for tummy tucks.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Check to see if you have loose skin around your stomach or whether your abdomen is out of proportion with the rest of your body.

2. Decide whether or not you are interested in having (more) children. It's best to wait until you're done having children.

3. Discuss your medical history with a surgeon.

4. Know that you need to be emotionally and physically healthy before your surgery.

5. Set your expectations in a realistic way. Talk to others who've had the surgery and find out what their experiences were like.
