What is the simplest option for me: tummy tuck or liposuction?

If you have loose skin on your stomach, plastic surgery is more likely to realize the results you are trying to find because it removes excess fat and skin. On the other hand, liposuction may be the most effective option for you if you have some pockets of fat around your waist or under your arms that you just want to get rid of.

Do you need lipo with a tummy tuck?

No, liposuction is not required for a tummy tuck. However, liposuction may be done with the tummy tuck procedure given the individual’s specific outcomes and safety.
While adding lipo to a tummy tuck is optional, doing so may lead to better results and a more visible recovery. The potential benefits of reconstructive surgery include:

  • A single surgery can target exercise-resistant fat and treat excess skin.
  • A surgical surgeon may also be able to eliminate the need for drains after surgery by using a multi-layer suture technique.
  • You will increase your body sculpting results by incorporating both methods.
