Do I Need A Tummy Tuck Or Liposuction???? Plastic Surgery Education By @drjohnmichaelthomassen ・・・ 😱Many patients are confused about whether they need a #tummytuck or #liposuction. 🤔 It is easy to think about it like this. Liposuction is a volume reduction operation, while a tummy tuck is a skin and abdominal wall tightening operation. If you have good skin quality and muscle tone, but just have a small area of stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, then you are probably a candidate for liposuction. However, If you have poor skin quality (stretch marks) and a weak abdominal wall (from pregnancy) and excess skin (also usually from pregnancy or significant weight loss in a short period of time) then you are most likely a candidate for a tummy tuck. Depending on your particular case, your plastic surgeon may suggest a combination of liposuction and tummy tuck to achieve the desired result. If you have had kids, about 85% will need a tummy tuck. There are far more patients unhappy with what lipo didn't deliver, than those who are unhappy with a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck has a much higher satisfaction rate because it's ability to remove fat and tighten the skin much more than just lipo alone.
