A Tummy Tuck instead of Abdominal Liposuction

San Antonio residents can get educated with a ContourLase consultation.

Many people have asked us about getting a tummy tuck instead of abdominal liposuction. Tummy tucks are major surgery. Large sections of skin and fat are removed and this surgery has to be performed under general anesthesia. A tummy tuck is highly invasive and recovery time is anywhere from two to four weeks depending on healing progress and the physical health of the patient. Tissue damage is extensive and there will be scarring. Tummy tucks are reserved for patients who've experienced rapid weight loss and have excessive skin that will not disappear with diet and exercise. In many cases abdominal liposuction is combined in a later surgery to help with fat just under the skin not removed by a tummy tuck.

Abdominal Liposuction (no matter which technique is utilized) is not as invasive as a tummy tuck. If a tummy tuck vs. abdominal liposuction is performed, a patient will be put under general anesthesia. Recovery time can take a few weeks.
