Beyond a Flat Belly: 3 Unexpected Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is well-known for its ability to sculpt, tighten, and flatten the midsection. However, it might surprise you to learn that its benefits go beyond aesthetics. At his plastic surgery clinic in Boca Raton, FL, premier plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Giancarlo McEvenue doesn’t just do tummy tucks: He does transformations. Dr. G limits his surgical schedule to just two patients a day, ensuring each person gets the world-class care they deserve.

Dr. G is renowned for his beautiful results and personalized care, and patients are even happier when they realize the additional functional benefits a tummy tuck can offer. Read on to learn about three surprising ways a tummy tuck can enhance your overall well-being.

Reduce Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a condition that causes uncontrollable bladder leakage during actions such as sneezing, coughing, or laughing. This can lead to considerable inconvenience and embarrassment, with daily disruptions to your life.

While non-surgical treatments are often the first option, studies show that a tummy tuck may help reduce SUI symptoms. Dr. G repositions and adjusts the pelvic region’s soft tissues in a tummy tuck. This supports the bladder and urethra, which may significantly reduce accidents in the future.

Decrease Back Pain

About 66% of pregnant women develop diastasis recti, in which the abdominal muscles separate. Those muscles might never fully return to their previous position, leaving a “pooch.” Anyone can experience weakened and separated abdominal muscles, though, including people who are severely overweight and those with dramatic weight fluctuations.

The separated and weakened abdominal muscles don’t support your spine properly, which may lead to chronic back pain. In a tummy tuck, Dr. G surgically tightens these muscles, improving core stability and reducing strain on the lower back. Many patients report significant relief from chronic discomfort after their procedure, enjoying the added support to their spine.

Improve Posture

Stronger abdominal muscles and reduced back pain often lead to improved posture. A tummy tuck enhances your core strength, making standing tall and maintaining proper spinal alignment easier. Better posture boosts confidence, helps you look your best, and contributes to overall spinal health.
