Tummy Tuck or Liposuction? How to See the Best Results

June 28, 2017 by koehler

Young woman relaxing on yacht, side viewDeciding whether to get a tummy tuck or liposuction is one of the most common dilemmas facing those who are unhappy with the appearance of their abdomen following pregnancy, fluctuating weight or aging. Although a tummy tuck and liposuction often considered similar, the two procedures do, in fact, tackle different issues, meaning the best option varies from person to person. To make it even more confusing, you might even find that your cosmetic surgeon recommends both!

Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction: Excess Skin

If excess skin around your abdomen is your main concern, a tummy tuck is the better option for you. While a tummy tuck will only remove a minimal amount of fatty tissue, it can work wonders on that pesky loose skin that may be left behind after major weight loss, as well as repairing loose, weakened muscles.

An experienced, board-certified cosmetic surgeon is an essential part of achieving outstanding body contouring results.

Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction: Stubborn Fat

While tummy tuck can effectively address loose skin and abdominal muscles, if you’re struggling with stubborn pockets of fat that simply won’t be defeated by a healthy diet and exercise regimen, liposuction could be the answer. Removing fat cells that stubbornly remain behind even after you reach your target weight is where liposuction really shines.

Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction: The Reality

You’re far from alone if you’ve been reading this and thinking you fall into both categories rather than one or the other. For this reason, a tummy tuck and liposuction are often combined for best results, combatting excess skin, loose muscles and sculpting away stubborn fat all at once.

If you’re considering either or both body contouring procedures, your first step should be consulting a board-certified cosmetic surgeon. Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, just the best option for you.
