3 Signs It May Be Time for a Tummy Tuck

With more time at home during the pandemic, many people are looking to improve their physical appearance. Many people often zero in on their abdomens as the part of their body that’s in need of fine-tuning. The stomach can be a work in progress for the many men and women who turn to tummy tuck surgery to enhance their appearance.

1. Diet and Exercise Won’t Remove a Pooch

If you have tried diet and exercise and still have a stomach pooch, a tummy tuck may be just what the plastic surgeon ordered. Tummy tucks remove and tighten loose skin, eliminate extra fat and repair muscles in the abdominal wall that may be causing a bulge.

A drain-free tummy tuck that includes liposuction can help remove a pooch while smoothing and contouring your abdomen. This combination of procedures can help accentuate the hard work you’ve put in on your own for a more refined overall outcome.

2. Excess Skin Lingering After Weight Loss

A tummy tuck can put the finishing touch on your weight loss journey.

After significant weight loss, the skin may not spring back to its earlier shape. With the weight shed, you may be stuck with extra skin that sags and distracts from the work you’ve done to achieve a leaner abdomen.

During a tummy tuck, Dr. Martin makes an incision in your lower abdomen and pulls the skin tight, removing any excess skin and ensuring a better fit over your muscles. A tummy tuck can help you more fully celebrate your post-weight loss figure.

3. You’re Ready to Invest in Yourself

A tummy tuck can be a great option for women who want to address post-pregnancy concerns. You should feel comfortable with your body and confident about your look. A tummy tuck is an investment in yourself that can offer long-lasting, beautiful results.

It's been over an year since I had my breasts implant surgery and I have no other to say that everything was amazing, still feel so satisfied and happy with the result, my skin has healed so well that I can barely say there was a cut! This surgery has changed my life, I'm in love with the new result! I followed the surgeon advice about the size, and is been the best! The proceeding was very organized, fast, the follow up was always scheduled well, the pain to me was pretty fine to handle, didn't even need all the meds he prescribed. First 3 days were harder but now who's got some awesome look? I love them ! The stuff and the environment is amazing! I recommend him! I've done some deep research about this doctor before I left my body on his hands! As an european, I claim we won't let everyone to touch our manicure or hairstylist to make our hair done! Imagine for a plastic surgery how much trust I needed making sure before, that is worthy! He's got many years of experience and an exemplary work ! He deserves 10 stars!

I can not express how much I love this surgeon and his staff. I had a breast lift and reduction done. I had 385cc implants from a previous surgery and exchanged them for 290cc, i reduced them by 100cc. My incisions are super thin like thread, very light. He only uses dissolvable stitches so no coming back to get anything taken off and no drains. The less tugging and pain the better! My nipples are beautiful, i was left with unattractive scars from a previous surgeon & dr Martin corrected them. I have perky, firm breast that fit my tiny frame. He knows exactly what your body is built for, he knows exactly how firm , how round or how much fullness needs to be up top. I’m so happy. I just want to add that it’s not just the work that gets done, it’s the genuine care the staff and Dr Martin provide. They provide the reassurance you need the entire time. They’re readily available for any emergency or concern. Surgery is quick and painless. The anesthesiologist knows her stuff, she’s good. I’m tiny 105lbs 4’11, I always get so scared because I’m so small but you’re in good hands. I had to go under twice because freak accident I did something to my left breast the first night, I had blood leaking which led to a small hematoma. The staff or Dr Martin didn’t cease contact with me or disappear, consistently calling or texting me to advise me, brought me back in immediately and put me in immediate surgery. Cleaned me up and had a new implant put in. None of my work was compromised. They genuinely cared about my well being, if I was in any pain, about my concern for the scars. I felt taken care of and wasn’t left anxious. I truly wish I had come to Dr Martin the first time I had breast implants put in. I made the mistake of going with a different surgeon and I paid the price financially, physically, mentally. 7 years later I corrected it. Do yourself the favor. You’ll be happy you had your surgery with Dr Martin. Don’t worry you’re given good pain meds after the surgery so you’re not in pain. They actually work too. Nicole the RN in the office is a living gem. She will be with you till your last check up. Nothing is ridiculous or too small to ask. I live in Florida, traveled to las cruces so Dr Martin could do my surgery. I was actually sad to leave this office, wish they were in Florida! Good luck ladies! Book your surgery ASAP! you love your body ♥️
