Tummy tucks are one way to get that flat, youthful tummy back. Of course, if you never had a flat tummy before, you might be really excited to have a tummy tuck procedure. To really make your tummy look amazing after the procedure, here are some pre-procedure tummy tuck services you should have done, or at least consider doing.
Cryolipolysis
Cryolipolysis freezes the fat inside the rolls of your tummy flesh. It kills the fat cells and causes them to rupture. Your body removes the dead cells via your bodily waste. Several sessions of this procedure significantly reduces the fat under the skin, which causes the skin to become looser. Initially, this may not sound great, but since you are having a tummy tuck anyway, the surgeon can remove the excess flesh. It also assists in reducing the fat enough that you can have liposuction and have even better results between the cryolipolysis and the liposuction.
Sagging Flesh Removal
After having kids, your abdomen is all stretched out. It typically hangs in one, giant, roly slab from your hips to your thighs. While a tummy tuck can tighten up the muscles under fat, and even restore some definition to your waist, it cannot do anything for the sagging roll of flesh that hides the tummy tuck. Ask your surgeon to remove this roll to reveal your more flattering stomach.
Liposuction
If you go through cryolipolysis AND the removal of sagging flesh, take things a step further. The flesh around your ribcage will have a lot of fat under it. The result of leaving that fat there is the "muffin top" look. Your stomach is nice and flat, but the fat left behind above gives you this weird "pooch" around your middle. Liposuction removes this fat above your tummy tuck area. Then your surgeon pulls this skin toward your pubic bone, gauges how much extra can be removed, cuts the excess loose, and stitches you closed. Now, from the bottom of your breastbone to your pubic bone, your stomach will look amazing.
Ask for One or All of These Services
Most patients opt for all of the above. The cryolipolysis gets a jump start on the fat disintegration and removal and is done before the other procedures. The other two procedures are easily completed during your tummy tuck because the surgeon already has cut open your abdomen for the tummy tuck.

All of my life, I was picked on for having a larger nose that most other people. I had dealt with picking and torment throughout high school and college, but once I graduated from college, I decided to make a few changes to the way that I look. Some people are not so open to cosmetic procedures and gave me a hard time about my choice, but after the procedure was complete and my nose was healed, they could see why I did what I did. You can follow my story on my website. Here, you will learn what I went through before, during and after my procedure.
