Get Answers to Your Tummy Tuck Questions

We often see patients at our Oakville clinic who are curious about what  a tummy tuck could do for them. That’s why we’re introducing this new blog series! Explore the possibilities of a tummy tuck and get answers to some of the most popular questions we hear at our Oakville clinic.

Why get a tummy tuck?

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure.  A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat and tightens abdominal muscles for a smooth and flatter tummy.

Many of our abdominoplasty candidates have noticed bulges of skin or skin and fat on their abdomen as a result of life changes like weight loss, pregnancy, and aging. It may make them feel self-conscious in a bathing suit or in intimate situations, or even in clothing and can be frustrating especially when they’ve worked so hard exercising or losing weight. That’s why a tummy tuck can be such a rewarding surgery for the right candidate; it’s an effective way to surgically contour the body.

Is a tummy tuck right for me?

 

The best way to explore your options is to book an appointment with us. Based on your body type, goals, concerns, health, and medical history, we’ll build a unique treatment plan to address your concerns. This kind of body contouring surgery is not a remedy for obesity or weight loss.

Choose a specialist who can understand your perspective

As a female plastic surgeon, Dr. de Kleer has a distinctive perspective on women’s concerns and goals, as they relate to their appearance.

Whether you choose to book your surgery with us or elsewhere, here are some important things to look for when you’re considering a clinic and a team for your tummy tuck:

  • Ask to see Before and After photos of real patients so you can look at real results and explore proof that your surgeon has a legacy of successful, beautiful surgical results.
  • Read your surgeons’ bio and look for a wealth of experience, a strong education, and a history of extensive training and successful surgeries.
  • Trust your gut. The way a clinic makes you feel is just as important as a skilled team. You should feel comfortable asking questions and exploring options in your consultation.
  • Look at online reviews on Google and Facebook, and see what previous patients are saying.
