If your skin has good elasticity, you may not need a tummy tuck to remove sagging skin that results from fat removal around the abdominal area. But if your skin is naturally lax or if you need to remove a significant amount of fat cells through liposuction, you may need to combine it with a tummy tuck to eliminate loose skin and obtain a more contoured abdominal profile.
After your initial consultation, Dr. Martin can help you determine if you can reach your aesthetic goals via liposuction alone or if you need to combine it with tummy tuck.
