Tummy Tuck: Is it Cheating?

So once you cross over into the realm of things like the tummy-tuck, you start wondering about yourself.  Am I doing this out of NEED, or out of WANT?

Am I lazy to go this route instead of working off all this fat like a good honest person would?

What will I tell people when they say, "Oh you look so good!  How did you lose the weight?" and will they be disappointed in me when they hear that it was a surgical procedure and not hard work and exercise?  Will this discourage other people who are working very hard to get results, yet not seeing them?

Do I care if other people judge me?  Would I judge someone else?  Does this make me ridiculous like the crazy people?  Hmm, are they really that crazy? Has money made me insane?  What will civilizations, hundreds of years from now, say about people like me who had fat and skin surgically removed even though they consider it to be archaic mutilation?  What if God spites me by giving me some sort of horrid staph infection or incision wound?  Will Mr. Right think less of me?  Will he still think I'm sexy and beautiful and perfect if I'm all scarred?

Then there is the catch-22.  Should I lose more weight and get to a "goal" place in fitness before having this surgery?  Well sure.  What is keeping me from being more active?  Well duh, the giant breasts.  They are painful and in the way... so I'd like them reduced.  But I should get to a goal weight first.  But the breasts are setting me back.

Who doesn't love a good round-and-round argument?  Who wants to chase my tail with me?

Knowing myself, and how hard I have worked in the past (through pain and through being fat and through self-discipline)... I really believe that after the procedures are done and I am healed, and able to participate in strenuous exercise... having been through the healing process of the surgery will be motivation.  I do NOT want to go through surgery, recovery, healing, etc. only to slack off and gain the belly fat back.  This is it.  It may be an unconventional means to an end, but I don't think it's the "wrong" thing to do.

  1. You’re right! It is not the wrong thing to do. Wanting a tummy tuck is not cheating, at all. It is an alternative to exercises and dieting so you can speed up the desired changes in your body. Our bodies have different reactions to the conventional and natural ways, and for some, these two just ain’t enough. A tummy tuck will enhance the appearance of the stomach over a shorter time period than months of improper exercising and unhealthy dieting.

  2. I've underwent a tummy tuck procedure, it was necessary, not because that I wanted to. After I've gave birth my skin looked so saggy... in one word - horrible, so even if I've trained a lot, I haven't had my desired results.
    Now, with the help of this procedure, I'm very happy and more confident in myself.

  3. I just want to add that in order to mitigate these risks, it is important to adhere to all post-surgical care instructions provided by your cosmetic surgeon. Many complications tummy tuck surgery poses are manageable and can be medically treated, though some may be permanent. A great cosmetic surgeon will take every step to avoid complications tummy tuck surgery presents to patient health.
