What is
Tummy Tuck?
Tummy Tuck (also termed as Abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery that
is done in the abdomen to remove excessive fat as well as skin from the
lower abdomen and also from the upper abdomen. Tummy Tuck is used to tighten
the muscles as well as fascia / fibrous tissues surrounding the muscles
in the abdominal wall. There are different types of Tummy Tuck such as
Complete Tummy Tuck, Extended Tummy Tuck, Partial Abdominoplasty / Mini
Tummy Tuck, and much more.
Need for
Liposuction and Tummy Tuck to Work Together
Generally, Liposuction alone is enough to remove fat deposits from the
abdomen and to reduce the bulge in the belly. But Tummy Tuck becomes essential
in the following cases:
• If the abdominal muscles are stretched due to Pregnancy then it
cannot be corrected using Liposuction. But Tummy Tuck can tighten these
abdominal muscles and in turn help you in getting a flat stomach.
• If you have undergone heavy weight loss, then your abdomen will
have sagging skin. In such case, only Tummy tuck can you get the body
contour back.
In these
cases, Tummy Tuck is preferred over liposuction. But still, Tummy Tuck
and Liposuction is performed together. Tummy Tuck will tighten the muscle,
skin as well as fat in the abdomen. Then liposuction will be carried on
to refine or improve the abdominal sculpture’s transition zones.
