2. When it comes to swimsuit season, there are enough
reasons that keep people away from the shoreline.
Perhaps it's not spending enough time working out
in the months before summer, only to realize that
the other beachfront competition has already toned
all abs and thinned down everywhere else.
3. Or maybe after seasons and seasons of successful time
frolicking about in the water, one bad winter or a
post-pregnancy body has you ready to sit this
sunshine out.
4. No matter what the reason might be for not wanting
to hit the beach, one of the most unfortunate
reasons that people give for not hitting the beach
during the summer is handling a post-weight loss
body.
The trouble here is not necessarily fat, per say, but
rather the fact that there may be excess skin.
5. Whether it's a woman getting used to a post-
pregnancy body or a man who has recently dropped
a considerable amount of weight but feels
uncomfortable shirtless, there are plenty of people
who are just one step away from that confidence
needed to hit the beach or the local pool during
hotter months.
6. Thankfully, from Miami to St. Louis, tummy tuck
procedures are becoming more and more common.
Rather than liposuction, which actually removes layers
of fat from under the skin, a tummy tuck gets rid of
excess skin that might have gathered as a result of
aging, pregnancy, or a rapid and substantial weight
loss.
7. This means that anyone who is planning or hoping to
lose a bit of weight should look to other procedures,
as a tummy tuck focuses more on what to do with
the excess skin that remains after a substantial
weight loss.
8. Likewise, those patients who are planning on having
more children or who are midway through a weight-
loss regime might want to wait a bit before
undergoing a tummy tuck, in order to see the best
results.
9. For men who are concerned about their appearance, a
tummy tuck is often the best possible procedure to
get back in shape and looking great.
Part of the aging process, especially for those who
have successfully managed to lose weight, is a loss of
elasticity in skin around the midsection.
10. This means that sometimes losing weight doesn't end
up looking as great as it should. For men who plan on
exercising but just need that extra boost towards
looking toner and more trim, this is the perfect
solution to excess skin that allows anyone to show
off a great new physique.
