Liposuction and tummy tuck surgery are both aesthetic body contouring procedures, but they address different issues and involve different surgical techniques.
Liposuction removes excess fat but does not address loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles. This procedure is best for individuals who have good skin elasticity and muscle tone but are looking to eliminate stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
Tummy Tucks (abdominoplasties) target loose, sagging skin and weakened abdominal muscles, often experienced after pregnancy or significant weight loss. These procedures remove excess skin and fat and tighten your muscles for a more defined abdominal contour.
