Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that targets and removes fat deposits from various parts of the body. Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, chin, arms, calves, and back. This procedure helps contour the body by eliminating stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise.
A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat and skin from the abdomen. It also tightens the abdominal muscles, resulting in a firmer, flatter abdomen. This surgery is often sought by individuals looking to improve their abdominal appearance, especially after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
At Drypskin, we prioritize patient safety, satisfaction, and exceptional results. Our highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeons use the latest techniques and technology to ensure minimally invasive procedures with optimal outcomes. We provide personalized care, ensuring each patient receives a tailored treatment plan to achieve their desired look.
The process begins with a thorough consultation with your plastic surgeon. During this meeting, you will discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. The surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, including any necessary dietary restrictions and medications to avoid.
For liposuction, the procedure involves making small incisions and inserting a thin tube called a cannula, which is connected to a vacuum to suction out the fat. Techniques such as tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), or laser-assisted liposuction may be used, depending on your needs.
A tummy tuck involves making a horizontal incision between the pubic hairline and the navel. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat, tightens the abdominal muscles, and repositions the remaining skin for a smoother, firmer abdomen. This procedure typically lasts 2-3 hours and requires general anesthesia.
A consultation with your plastic surgeon is the first step. Discuss your objectives, ask questions, and clarify any doubts. At Drypskin, we understand this decision needs all the information. We will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare, including dietary restrictions. Your medical history, allergies, and medications will be reviewed. These procedures are not recommended for those with blood flow issues, heart disease, diabetes, or a weak immune system.
Recovery varies per individual. Liposuction typically requires a few weeks, while a tummy tuck can take several months for full recovery.
Both procedures leave scars. However, our skilled surgeons place incisions in less noticeable areas, and scars fade over time with proper care.
Yes, many patients opt to combine liposuction with a tummy tuck for more comprehensive results, often referred to as a lipoabdominoplasty.
Results are long-lasting if you maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.
Most patients can return to work within two to six weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery and the nature of their job.
