What a Tummy Tuck won’t do?

Tummy tuck is only a solution for the stubborn fat pockets that refuse to go away even with strict diet and exercise regime. It does not treat obesity and should definitely not be considered a substitute for exercise and healthy lifestyle. Technically the results of tummy tuck are almost always permanent but only with sincere efforts by the person to maintain an ideal weight. If the person does not follow dietary and lifestyle guidelines, the results can diminish or reverse. It is also not a solution for stretch marks but these may improve or remove if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised during the tummy tuck procedure.
