How does Belly Liposuction work?
What is the difference between Belly Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck?
Many people are confused by these two treatments and each serves a specific purpose. Belly Liposuction works by removing fat cells which reside under the skin and above the abdominal muscles.
Patients which have have good abdominal muscle tone, belly liposuction can provide a pleasant and dramatic improvement. Your new flat tummy will appear very natural looking with minimal scarring. Most liposuction patients have a natural elasticity of the abdominal skin, and there is no need to surgically remove excess skin.
However it generally makes sense to have a Tummy Tuck in conjunction with Belly Liposuction when the patient has a lot of excess skin around the abdomen. The Tummy Tuck usually conmsists of a Tummy Liposuction treatment to remove fat. In addition the surgical removal of a good sized section of skin from the lower abdomen. After the excess skin is removed sometimes it is necessary to surgically relocate of the belly button for proper asthetics.
Tummy Tuck advantakes compared with Belly Liposuction
If the patient has low abdominal skin laxity, large or extensive stretch marks, or severely stretched abdominal muscles (caused by some pregnancys). The Tummy Tuck surgically removes skin with severe stretch marks. Belly Liposuction alone does not remove stretch marks.
