Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty) and liposuction
Tummy tuck and liposuction operations are totally different procedure. Therefore, it is important for patients to know the difference between these two operations. Only the abdominoplasty cannot provide a solution for fat deposits.
Liposuction is a commonly performed operation in which regional fat deposits in the body are removed from the body through a thin, empty tube known as cannula. After this operation, surgeon can reposition and reshape remaining fat deposits.

Secondly, if the patient has a moderate or high degree of laxity in the abdominal muscles and skin, and the patient only needs a small amount of fat removal, the abdominoplasty alone may be sufficient.
Thirdly, if the patient wants to lose a large amount of fat with the skin and muscle laxity, surgeon can apply liposuction with the abdominoplasty.
