    March 23, 2017

    Getting a flat tummy is a dream for many and seems impossible in most of the cases. Achieving a flat tummy is now possible with the cosmetic surgeries like tummy tuck and liposuction. Both these cosmetic surgery techniques involve the removal of the unwanted fat from the abdominal area.

    Basic Difference between Liposuction and Tummy Tuck

    Liposuction and tummy tuck are the most common cosmetic surgeries used to treat your belly fat. Tummy tuck also called as abdominoplasty generally involves the removal of a large amount of skin from your lower abdominal area. Abdominoplasty simultaneously tightens the skin in the upper abdominal area.

    Liposuction mainly helps in removal of fat deposits from the abdominal area. Small incisions are made using a hollow stainless steel tube that can help in removal of fat deposits. Liposuction plays an important role in reducing fat in the specific area that cannot be treated with diets and exercise. Liposuction works well in areas like thighs, hips and lower abdomen.

    When is Liposuction required?

    Liposuction works well for people who have an ideal body weight and have a good abdominal muscle tone. Any excess fat under your skin and above your stomach muscles can be removed using liposuction.

    Liposuction is not preferred for overweight or obese people. It is difficult and risky to remove a large amount of fat in a single day from an obese individual. Liposuction can be beneficial for obese people only for removal of fat from the trouble spots like thighs and hips.

     When is Tummy Tuck required?

    Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is an extensive surgical procedure used to deal with abdominal fat. Most of the people do not prefer this cosmetic surgical procedure as it is more painful when compared to the liposuction.

    The tummy tuck is mainly suggested when you have the following conditions:

    • Excess skin around the abdomen
    • Lower abdominal skin laxity
    • Stretch marks post pregnancy
    • Extremely stretched stomach muscle after pregnancy

    Tummy tuck plays a key role in tightening the inner girdle and stretching out your skin. The tummy tuck helps in getting a flat tummy by reducing the stretch marks and can result in toned abs. This cosmetic surgery procedure can smooth out your skin easily.

    Tummy Tuck Vs Liposuction

    Tummy tuck generally required substantial surgeries and the incisions may extend from one hip to other. Scarring is also seen in few cases below the waistline. In few cases, the belly button also needs to be repositioned and reconstructed. The scarring is not visible in most of the cases. The recovery time generally last for a week to return back to the regular routine.

    Liposuction generally involves less scarring because of the smaller incision made during the surgery. Swelling, numbness and bruising are common after liposuction surgery. The recovery time is comparatively less when compared to tummy tuck surgery.
