What qualifies you for a tummy tuck?

Tummy tuck patients have loose, hanging skin on their abdomens that they would like to get rid of. Before you can qualify for the surgery, however, it is important that you are in good overall physical health and that you have realistic expectations concerning the outcome of your procedure.

Many candidates for tummy tuck surgery are moms who are done having children and would like to regain their pre-baby tummy. Many others are those who have recently achieved significant weight loss, either through diet and exercise or weight loss surgery. Of course, anyone may benefit from a tummy tuck. Sometimes, time and gravity are the simple culprits that cause loose abdominal skin in older adults.
