Liposuction vs Tummy Tuck

  • When there is a small amount of fat under the skin above the muscle, liposuction is highly effective at removing fat and improving the contour
  • Significant intra-abdominal fat, known as  visceral fat, exists around the organs, and cannot be removed by plastic surgery techniques.  However, improved fitness, reduced unhealthy calorie intake, and weight loss all can help
  • Liposuction also has minimal effect on the skin.  The skin can contribute and contracted somewhat but not completely.  There are significant skin overhang like in this patient, tummy tuck is the best surgery technique.
  • Some patients do require muscle tightening because of a hernia, previous surgery for multiple pregnancies.  Significant weight loss can also result in looseness of the muscle and fascia tissues.  A tummy tuck has the added advantage of allowing for tightening of the muscle layer.
