LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the most recent data released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, tummy tucks, known more formally as abdominoplasties, are one of the fastest growing cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures in America. From 2000 to 2013, there was a 79% increase in the number of tummy tucks performed by leading medical providers like Southern California-based Beverly Hills Physicians (BHP). Over 100,000 patients choose tummy tucks in 2013. According to BHP, there are two primary reasons why a patient would ask one of their highly-trained doctors for this increasingly popular procedure.

1. Mommy Makeovers – Tummy tucks are often part of the popular surgical package known as a "Mommy Makeover" meant to fix many of the damaging effects that pregnancy and childbirth can have on the female form. While there are some things that mothers can do to limit the occurrence of stretch marks on a rapidly growing belly, many times these unsightly marks are completely and frustratingly unavoidable. Luckily, a tummy tuck procedure can fix some of these marks along with the loose skin that also forms when the belly rapidly shrinks. Many women also opt to have a tummy tuck after a C-section, to eliminate some of the loose skin over the C-section scar. (However, BHP recommends that women wait several months after a C-section to get a tummy tuck, so as not to undo some of tuck's effects as the body settles into its post-pregnancy form.)

2. Rapid Weight Loss – Losing weight is never easy, and anyone who succeeds in achieving the proper balance and discipline needed to shed unwanted pounds should be congratulated for their effort. Unfortunately, dramatic weight loss often brings loose skin along with it, and unlike losing weight, shedding that loose skin can't simply be done through diet and exercise. The talented surgeons at Beverly Hills Physicians are experts at performing tummy tucks to remove this unsightly loose skin and put the finishing touches on their patients' hard work.

Many people view certain plastic surgery procedures as steps that people take to change the way they look, but tummy tucks are different. People are realizing that tummy tucks are meant to fix unavoidable changes that happen to the body caused by rapid weight gain or loss, and they are going to experienced surgeons like the ones are Beverly Hills Physicians to restore their body to its true form. Losing weight or having a child is something that should be a source of pride, not a cause of bodily embarrassment.

No one should ever have to choose between accomplishing something important and preserving the image that they want, and tummy tucks from BHP are a great way to ensure that choice doesn't have to be made.
