Know The Difference Between A Tummy Liposuction And A Tummy Tuck

Most people are puzzled between a tummy liposuction and a tummy tuck. These two treatments are different from each other and each one serves a particular purpose. A Tummy Liposuction works by getting rid of fat cells which existed below the skin as well as the fat cells on top of the abdominal muscles.

Patients who has a good abdominal muscle tone, the Tummy Liposuction can offer a satisfying and remarkable improvement. Your flat tummy after the liposuction will be very normal looking with minimum scarring. Many of the liposuction patients have abdominal skin which is naturally flexible, as such there is no requirement to surgically eliminate the excess skin.

Nonetheless it is generally logical to get a Tummy Tuck in combination with a Tummy Liposuction in the event a patient has too much of surplus skin surrounding the abdomen. The Tummy Tuck generally comprise of a Tummy Liposuction surgery to remove the excess fat.

On top of the liposuction, the surgery also removes a section of the surplus skin from the lower section of the abdomen. Sometimes, after the removal of surplus skin, it is essential to do a relocation surgery to relocate the belly button for appropriate aesthetics.

What are the advantages of Tummy Tuck compared to Tummy Liposuction?

Say if a patient has a low abdominal skin laxity, big or extensive abdominal stretch marks, or even severe stretched abdominal muscles which is caused by multiple pregnancies, then the patient should have a Tummy Tuck surgery to remove the skin which has severe stretch marks.

Tummy Liposuction cannot solve the problem as it is meant for removal of fat only and do not remove skin with stretch marks.
