Long lasting Tummy Tucks

 Tummy-tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, should last a very long time under normal circumstances.  Once the skin is tightened, it will get a little looser with the aging process, but not much.  If, however, one was to gain then lose a large amount of weight after tummy tuck, the abdominal skin could stretch out again, negatively impacting the overall contour.  Likewise, if childbirth occurs (especially with twin pregnancy or large babies), the abdomen will loosen again.  I personally advise all of my patients considering a tummy tuck to wait until after they have finished having their babies, or, if they are planning to loose weight, to do so prior to the surgery.
