What Does Liposuction Treat?
Liposuction is designed to remove stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise, helping create slimmer, more refined body contours. It is often used to treat areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, and thighs, but it does not address loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles.
What Does a Tummy Tuck Treat?
A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a more comprehensive body-contouring procedure. It removes excess skin, tightens stretched abdominal muscles, and creates a flatter, firmer abdominal profile.
This procedure is often a popular choice for women who have experienced pregnancy-related changes or significant weight loss. Even after reaching a healthy weight, many women find that loose skin and separated abdominal muscles continue to affect the appearance of their abdomen.
Unlike liposuction, a tummy tuck addresses structural changes beneath the skin, helping to create a smoother, more toned midsection.
Your Treatment Plan Should Fit Your Goals
At Desert Hills Plastic Surgery, treatment recommendations are based on your individual concerns and goals.
- Liposuction may be ideal for stubborn fat and improved body contours.
- A tummy tuck may be better for loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles.
- A combination of procedures may provide the most comprehensive result when multiple concerns are present.
