EP:25 Unveiling the Reconstructive Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

Body By Poly with Dr. Alain Polynice

In this episode, we explore the common perception of tummy tucks as solely cosmetic procedures and uncover their significant reconstructive benefits. Dr. Polynice explains how this surgery not only reshapes and sculpts the abdomen but also tackles issues such as abdominal muscle separation, core strength loss, and the removal of overhanging skin, which can reduce skin breakdowns and rashes. Learn how tummy tucks combine aesthetic enhancement with essential medical benefits, especially for patients experiencing massive weight loss with GLP-1's or multiple pregnancies.
