Considering a tummy tuck procedure in Fort Worth? You’re not alone. Many women, in Fort Worth, Dallas, and beyond, are unhappy with their midsection due to loose skin, lax muscles, and fat deposits resulting in a pooching abdomen and poor waist definition. For some patients, these problems are inherited; others develop these concerns after weight loss and pregnancy. Diet and exercise can be helpful for losing weight and diminishing fat deposits, but they will not correct wrinkled, excess skin, stretch marks, and loose abdominal muscles. Additionally, many patients complain of localized fat deposits on their waist, hips, and thighs that are resistant to diet and exercise, no matter how dedicated to fitness the patient may be. There are several body contouring procedures available to make you look and feel like your true self.

Benefits of a Tummy Tuck
Most patients who see Dr. Steele for a tummy tuck have had several pregnancies. As a result, they are left with stretch marks and loose skin. Patients frequently combine an abdominoplasty procedure with breast augmentation as part of a mommy makeover. Additionally, many male patients or patients who have undergone significant weight loss could benefit from a stomach tuck as well. An abdominoplasty provides a variety of benefits including:
- Removing excess, stretched-out skin
- Flattening a bulging abdomen
- Contouring the waistline to provide an hourglass figure
- Repairing the abdominal muscles that have been stretched out from pregnancy and weight gain
