Why Should I Get A Liposuction Instead Of A Tummy Tuck?

Liposuction (also called lipoplasty and suction lipectomy) and abdominoplasty (also called tummy tuck) are in constant competition. They both target the stomach area, and both promise an improved, trimmer, younger appearance.

Although both surgeries act to try to make a patient look thinner and more attractive, they actually work in very different ways. A lipoplasty removes excess fat through tiny hollow needles called cannulas. During the surgery, a doctor works through tiny incisions. As he or she moves a cannula back and forth through the fatty tissue of a patient’s target area,replica Ray Ban New Release Sunglasses RB0089, the cannula breaks up and loosens the patient’s fat. At the same time as this is happening,replica Ray-Ban RB2140 Wayfarer Sunglasses Blue Lens White Frame, the cannula (which is attached to a vacuum device) suctions the fat out of the body.

In contrast, a tummy tuck doesn’t use suction at all. It uses large incisions that typically run across the length of the abdomen. The surgery does more than just remove excess fat, it removes excess skin. The doctor detaches the abdominal skin, stretches it down and then cuts off the excess. The doctor also works to improve the tightness of the abdominal muscles. In some people, especially in women who have been pregnant, the abdominal muscles become stretched. This means that they tend to look like they have a bit of a tummy, even when they aren’t carrying extra weight. Finally, the doctor reattaches the skin and makes a new belly button (given that the old one is typically in the skin that is removed).

Although both surgeries have their place, tummy tucks are much more invasive than liposuctions. The increased invasiveness has a number of results. One of these is increased price. Tummy tucks are a longer and more involved surgery, and as such, they tend to cost significantly more than a lipoplasty. On average, they are about twice as expensive. The recovery time is similarly much longer for tummy tuck patients.

The increased invasiveness also has some health repercussions. For example, although the possibility exists in both surgeries,replica Ray Ban New Release Sunglasses RB0011, there is a greater danger of developing blood clots in the lung during a tummy tuck.

Also, the fact that a tummy tuck works with the abdominal muscles is a double-edged sword. Although it makes it possible to improve a person’s appearance in a way that would be impossible without tightening these muscles, it also makes it possible for there to be more problems. The muscles of the abdomen and lower back all interact with each other and all play an important role in stabilizing the spine. If the muscles are improperly tightened or if too much scar tissue forms around them, this could lead to lower back pain and strain.
