Nonsurgical treatments are effective for the right candidates. However, if you’re looking for dramatic fat removal or skin tightening, you may want to consider surgery instead. For people who have experienced multiple pregnancies or dramatic weight loss, skin-tightening surgeries such as a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck are still the gold standard. For those who want to achieve significant fat removal across multiple areas of the body, liposuction is an excellent option.
