Liposuction and Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Liposuction and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) are among the most preferred body contouring operations in aesthetic surgery.
Both procedures yield highly satisfactory results when applied correctly and to the right person, effectively improving body contours. However, these two different procedures are applied to patients with different types of complaints and address different problems.
When is Liposuction the Right Choice?
If you maintain a diet and exercise routine but still can’t get rid of localized fat, liposuction might be the right choice for you. Liposuction is one of the most effective body contouring procedures that can be applied to various areas of the body, allowing the removal of fat through aspiration.
Liposuction can be applied to many areas, including the waist, abdomen, back, thighs, arms, legs, and even the chin. The best results in liposuction are obtained when applied to areas with localized fat deposits.
Especially for men with abdominal fat and women with only a slight excess of fat in the abdominal area due to reasons like childbirth, liposuction is a suitable option. Similarly, liposuction can be successfully applied to remove subcutaneous fat in the abdomen and waist area in men.
Additionally, the 3D Hi-Def Liposculpture (3D High-Resolution Body Contouring) technique, which has gained popularity in recent years, can make abdominal muscles more defined in men. This technique can also reveal six-pack abs after the liposuction procedure.
At ClinicPlast, we use the most advanced method today: Ultrasonic (Vaser) Liposuction. It provides much more successful results compared to traditional liposuction methods. Ultrasonic Liposuction, which results in less pain and faster recovery, uses sound waves to liquefy fat cells and remove them from the body.
How to Know When It’s the Right Time for a Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedures should be preferred in cases of sagging in the abdominal area due to pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, or aging. If the sagging excess skin in your abdominal area bothers you both in appearance and health, you are a suitable candidate for this operation.
During an abdominoplasty, your surgeon will remove the excess skin and fat in your abdominal area to give you a flat abdomen. This will help you achieve a more fit appearance and relieve back pain caused by the excess skin.
