There are many myths surrounding the tummy tuck procedure but Beverly Hills tummy tuck specialist and Haute Beauty expert, Dr. Gabrielle B. Davis<\/strong> <\/a>is here to help separate them from the facts. Here is a guide to the procedure and the misconceptions that accompany it.<\/p>\n

Myth #1: A Tummy Tuck Can Be Replicated at Home<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest misconceptions about the tummy tuck procedure is that there are other remedies that can be used to achieve the same results. While diet and exercise are essential to staying healthy, at-home remedies like these unfortunately aren\u2019t able to improve the look of sagging or loose skin.<\/p>\n

This is primarily because in order to reverse the appearance of excess skin, the skin must be surgically removed. The tummy tuck<\/strong><\/a> procedure is essentially the only surgical remedy that removes the skin, settles the remaining skin across the area, and removes stubborn pockets of fat from your abdomen all at once.<\/p>\n

Myth #2: A Tummy Tuck Is Exclusive to Some Women<\/h3>\n

Misconceptions regarding gender are also a huge myth when it comes to tummy tucks. Many believe that abdominoplasty is only available to women because this is where it is most commonly advertised. However, every year thousands of men receive tummy tucks. Men also want to look and feel good with the procedure resulting in stronger, more appealing abdominal profiles, and boosted confidence.<\/p>\n

The belief that a tummy tuck is exclusively available to women or those who have gone through childbirth is most certainly false. While a tummy tuck can be a significant step in a mommy makeover, it is also sufficient for those who have dealt with aging, poor genetics, and rapid weight loss, causing them to lose their firm abdominal profiles. With this in mind, there is no doubt that men can reap the benefits of abdominoplasty as well.<\/p>\n
