Tummy Tuck or Liposuction, Which Should I Have Done?
Do I need a Tummy Tuck or Liposuction? Which do I need, liposuction or a tummy tuck, patients frequently ask this question when they visit their plastic surgeon. Patients can try to answer this question for themselves before they visit the plastic surgeon to understand the difference between the two procedures, figuring out what bothers them most about their body, and what they want to accomplish. Liposuction Liposuction reduces the fat volume in problem areas that make patients uncomfortable about the way they look. This is a more intense procedure as it takes more fat from different areas of the body and not just one location. This can include love handles, midriff, buttocks, thighs, and so on. Small incisions are made by the cosmetic surgeon in order to remove the excess fat from the troubled areas. The pitfall for this type of cosmetic surgery is that it doesn’t remove excess skin so in order to consider this procedure one should have a good skin tone or may have to consider having a tummy tuck.
