What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a targeted fat removal procedure designed to sculpt areas of the body by removing excess fat cells. It’s best suited for individuals who are near their target weight but have specific fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise.
Key Benefits
Effectively removes localized fat deposits with minimal scarring and a quick recovery time.
What is a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
A tummy tuck is a more detailed procedure that removes loose skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles. It’s often recommended for those who’ve experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing, which can leave behind sagging skin and a weakened abdominal wall.
Key Advantages
Removes loose skin, tightens abdominal muscles, and creates a smoother, more toned appearance.
Liposuction vs. Abdominoplasty: How to Choose?
Deciding between liposuction and a tummy tuck depends on your body’s condition and the results you hope to achieve.
- Your skin is firm and elastic
- You only want fat removed
- You prefer a shorter recovery
Choose Tummy Tuck if:
- You have loose or sagging skin
- Your abdominal muscles are stretched or weakened
- You want a significant change in contour
- You’re comfortable with a longer recovery for long-term results
