When you consider aesthetic surgery, you should know it often makes sense to combine two procedures. Having tandem surgeries makes even more sense in body contouring addressing excess fat and skin.
A tummy tuck aims to reshape and reinforce the abdominal area for a lean tummy with a tight skin surface. Here’s why it makes sense to combine liposuction and abdominoplasty to get the best results possible.
Achieve Your Ideal Contours
Because abdominoplasty only addresses muscle and skin issues, employing liposuction to remove unwanted fat deposits will provide a balanced benefit. It is critical to be at or close to your optimal weight before considering the operation. Neither abdominoplasty nor liposuction is a weight-loss option.
Target Multiple Sites
Abdominoplasty alone addresses loose abdominal muscles and sagging skin to deliver a more toned, firmer abdomen. But what if other areas like the thighs, back, and hips have excess fat bulges? In that case, liposuction can bring better balance to these adjoining areas when combined with a tummy tuck.
Mothers looking to get their pre-pregnancy body back or who have experienced significant weight loss may have excess skin over the abdomen. Here, combining the procedures will help add the finishing touches to their body shaping goals.
Reduce Recovery and Downtime
Another added perk of combining these two procedures is that there is only one recovery period necessary. Everyone heals at a different pace, but recovery for combined abdominoplasty and liposuction can be relatively akin to a tummy tuck on its own.
Hidden Health Benefits
Excess fat and skin often lead to poor posture. The advantages of combining liposuction with your tummy tuck may help you enjoy the benefit of standing straighter and more erect. Without excess skin and fat in the abdominal area, some patients report a better posture as a result.
You will feel less embarrassed to wear form-fitting exercise gear and will be more likely to wear it in public settings such as the gym. When carrying around excess skin and fat, exercise becomes more restrictive and awkward. But when you feel more comfortable in your body, you may become more active.
