Most people, at some time before surgery, have fears and doubts. A common concern is that they are being vain. Many plastic surgeons find that the majority of patients who have cosmetic surgery are no more vain than anyone else. What does distinguish them is a desire to get the most out of life. Looking after our appearance is not a fault. After all would you leave your house with broken gutters or peeling paint? Why do less for your body? You should feel proud of yourself for having the courage to want to change something that you find unacceptable. Remember that you should only have the surgery if it is for you. It is a big mistake to have surgery for somebody else.
Abdominoplasty can have a significant impact on self-esteem. The operation is done on two groups of patients. The first is comprised of those who have never had children and have laxity as a result of weight loss. The second is those who have had children and after pregnancy developed laxity.
