Losing a lot of weight is a big deal – you’re healthier, more energetic, and often more confident.  But it can also leave you with loose, sagging skin around your belly and other areas. That’s a frustrating feeling when you’ve worked so hard to drop the pounds. A tummy tuck could be the perfect solution to give you the tight stomach you’ve fantasized about since the day you started your weight loss journey. 

Dr. Kelly R. Kunkel, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Fort Worth, Texas, specializes in tummy tuck procedures. With his extensive training and over two decades of experience, Dr. Kunkel has helped countless patients regain their confidence and feel more comfortable in their bodies.

Physical and Emotional Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

If you’re dealing with sagging skin after losing weight, you might feel like it holds you back from fully enjoying your new body. 

A tummy tuck can help by removing that excess skin and offering benefits beyond a flatter stomach. Here’s how a tummy tuck can make a real difference for you: 

• Improved Comfort: A tummy tuck removes excess skin that can cause irritation, chafing, and even infections. You will feel a lot more comfortable after surgery.
• Greater Mobility: Without the loose skin, you’ll be able to move more freely and comfortably during workouts and everyday activities. It’s an investment that will help you level up your fitness routine and commit to your healthy lifestyle long-term.
• Boosted Self-Confidence: After a tummy tuck, many people feel more confident with how they look and how their clothes fit. It can even help you feel more relaxed in social situations.
• Better Posture and Core Strength: Abdominoplasty doesn’t just remove skin – it can also tighten your abdominal muscles, which can lead to better posture and a stronger core. Another way to positively impact your health!
• Lasting Results: As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, the benefits of a tummy tuck will last, so you can fully appreciate your new body and everything it can do.
