Many patients interested in the hourglass tummy tuck want to find out more about the benefits of the procedure. Here are the three main benefits of the intervention.
1. The procedure will treat your saggy abdomen
The hourglass tummy tuck is more effective and reliable than the standard or traditional tummy tuck. The surgery can effectively treat your saggy abdomen, making it flatter, firmer, and toned. The surgery involves the removal of loose, excess skin from your abdomen along with the fat pockets, in addition to tightening the abdominal wall muscle.
Unlike the traditional tummy tuck, the hourglass tummy tuck also involves the use of liposuction and fat transfer. As such, not only will your abdomen become youthful, firmer, and smoother, but your body profile will also be enhanced. The combined outcomes will enhance your overall physical appearance.
2. The surgery will deliver you the hourglass figure
The hourglass figure is the most popular body shape among women. Its distinctive features include wider hips, narrow waist, and a curvaceous body shape. With the traditional tummy tuck, you will achieve only a flatter abdomen. On the other hand, the hourglass tummy tuck will not only provide you a flatter abdomen but also the hourglass body.
Besides removing the excess skin from the abdomen and tightening your abdominal wall muscles, liposuction will be used to remove the excess fat from the abdomen, sides, flanks, and upper back. The target areas will be contoured, and the waist will become smaller as a result. Next, the fat will be processed and then grafted into your hips and butt. This will result in wider hips and a fuller butt.
Remember, the abdomen is enclosed by a number of functional structures that underscore the femininity of women, such as the flanks, hips, butt, lower chest, etc. The ideal hip-to-waist ratio for women is 0.7 because it makes them look more feminine, fertile, and sexy. This is the goal I always aim to achieve with the hourglass tummy tuck.
3. The results are highly sustainable
The hourglass tummy tuck involves the use of specialized surgical techniques and artistry. As such, the outcomes are greatly sustainable. With the traditional tummy tuck, gravity and aging will affect the results over time. This isn’t the case with the hourglass procedure because I use unique techniques to keep your firmer abdomen, wider hips, and smaller waist intact.
For example, I don’t rely only on the abdominal skin to hold your newer abdomen in place. Instead, I use the abdominal muscle, tissues, and ligaments in addition to the skin to keep your new figure integral and resist the effects of gravity and aging.
