hi everybody. i'm dr. david reath, and i'mhere to talk about this week's truth-o-meter tuesday question.this week we sort of aimed our question at the guys.and the question was that tummy tucks operations are only performed on women.tummy tucks or abdominoplasty. and the answer is false.we have many men in our practice who have had tummy tucks, and the reason for them isgenerally weight loss, or changes in their bodies over time.these are gentlemen that have excess skin that can be removed, and can make a big differencefor them. now there is a bit of a difference in whatwe do for women and what we do for men.
women generally have had a pregnancy whenwe're doing a tummy tuck, although not all of them.and for those women who do need to do work on the muscles to correct the changes thathappened during pregnancy. that's not the case in men.so recovery for women who are having muscle repair as part of their tummy tuck can bea little bit longer--say three to four weeks out of work.where as with men, it's more like two weeks, perhaps a little bit longer in some cases.so the bottom line is that tummy tucks can be very good for men who have had significantchanges in their body or weight loss, and who are at an appropriate weight.so, let's find out who this week's winner
is.ashley leeds. ashley, congratulations, you're this week'swinner. we have a $100 gift card for you, please comein and pick that up. and for everyone else, we'll have anotherquestion next week.
