Considering that excess belly fat is associated with various health problems, I would like to know if a tummy tuck can potentially reduce a person's risk of developing these ailments. Thank you for your response.
Regarding the question about whether tummy tucks reduce the risk of heart problems, studies have not found a direct correlation between tummy tucks and reduced heart risks. Heart disease risks are influenced by various factors such as genetics, medical conditions, environmental factors, and diet.
Procedures like tummy tucks or abdominoplasty are categorized as body contouring surgeries. While they do not reduce the risk of heart disease or diabetes, there may be some metabolic changes in diabetes that are still being studied. However, these surgeries should not be performed solely with the intention of reducing the risk of heart disease or diabetes. The risks associated with these procedures are influenced by factors such as weight, diet, smoking habits, and others. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
