What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightening the abdominal muscles. It is popular among those who have undergone significant weight loss or childbirth.
Women often report significant improvements in physical appearance and functional health after a tummy tuck. Known for creating a flatter, more toned abdomen, this procedure also offers potential benefits for managing urinary incontinence.
Understanding Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, which can occur when weakened pelvic muscles cause pressure on the bladder. Common triggers include coughing, sneezing, or heavy lifting.
Potential Benefits of Tummy Tucks for Urinary Incontinence
During a tummy tuck, our surgeons repair and tighten the abdominal muscles, potentially enhancing pelvic stability. This tightening can also reduce the pressure on the bladder and provide more support to the pelvic floor muscles.
Furthermore, the support may help alleviate the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence, where physical movement or activity pressures the bladder.
In some cases, the procedure can improve posture, further contributing to better bladder control.
While a tummy tuck is not a guaranteed solution for everyone with urinary incontinence, many patients report significant improvements in their symptoms following the procedure. For those experiencing both cosmetic concerns and bladder control issues, a tummy tuck can offer a dual benefit by addressing both appearance and functional health concerns.
