Both tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and liposuction help contour the midsection, but they address different concerns:
Abdominoplasty: Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens muscles. It’s ideal for those with loose or sagging skin due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or ageing.
Liposuction: Removes stubborn fat pockets from specific areas of the body but does not tighten skin or muscles. It’s best for individuals with good skin elasticity.
Liposuction is often combined with abdominoplasty, such as when Dr. Mistry performs 360-degree liposuction alongside a abdominoplasty to achieve client expectations.
The best approach depends on your goals and body type. A consultation with Dr. Mistry, specialist plastic surgeon, will help determine the right option for you.
