Does it make a difference? I've had 3 kids and definitely need some help in my stomach area, but I'm not sure what procedure I would need to get my pre-baby figure back.
Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty vs Regular abdominoplasty Lipoabdominoplasty is really the combination of well performed liposuction and abdominoplasty. It is an advanced tummy tuck technique that safely combines extensive liposuction with tummy tuck procedures in a way that achieves results far superior than those achievable by either procedure alone. It offers a greatly improved abdominal appearance due to the aggressive liposuction and muscle tightening (if necessary), a shorter, less noticeable scar for many patients. There is less chance of "dog ear". In Atlanta, this is called the ATLTUCK. Lipoabdominoplasty is often combined with liposuction of hips and back. This combination provides an ideal cosmetic surgery solution after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Experience and training matters a lot during Lipoabdominoplasty. Non Plastic surgeons (cosmetic surgeons) tend to charge less than Plastic Surgeon. Below are other criteria to use when selecting a Plastic surgeon.Questions to ask (Answering NO is a big red flag)1) Are you a plastic surgeon? (Do you know difference between cosmetic surgeon & plastic surgeon)2) Are you board certified in Plastic Surgery?3) Will the procedure be performed at a fully accredited procedure room or ambulatory surgery center4) Do you have hospital privilege to perform liposuction and tummy tuck? Which Hospital?5) Do you offer complication insurance (it does happen, it better to be safe)The most important decision is to do your homework well. Any doctor can offer abdominoplasty. Its your duty to know who is doing your procedure. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty Vs Regular Abdominoplasty Every case is specific and the main goal of the surgeon is to act in accordance with the wish and expectations of the patient. is difficult to predict the necessary steps and the result without personal examination of the patient, but I often suggest my patients to have both procedures in one go, as liposuction by itself can not give the result of Tummy Tuck.In some cases good or satisfactory results after liposuction can be predicted. That means that the skin has good elasticity, which will help it to shrink down to the new size after liposuction. In this case we decide on liposuction alone, leaving the Tummy Tuck as a second option.But in many cases we have not much to expect. Generally it happens when the skin has already lost its retracting abilities, or in case the size before liposuction is big. The bigger was the size before, the less is the ability of the skin to shrink.Thus, the excess skin will spoil the final result of liposuction, so we try to discuss it with our patient beforehand and to learn his or her expectations.Every case is specific and the main goal of the surgeon is to act in accordance with the wish and expectations of the patient.I hope this helps

Answer: #LipoAbdominoplasty Slim Liposuction is not an alternative but rather addresses a different problem than a TT. Liposuction is less invasive and quicker to recover from than a Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty). This is because liposuction only involves removing fat from beneath your skin. Your body will cause the overlying skin to contract only to the degree it is capable, often leaving redundant skin which can be unsightly. In other words, you need good elasticity to get a good result.A Tummy Tuck involves removing redundant skin and tightening the underlying muscles. Sometimes liposuction is combined as needed with a Tummy Tuck for the best possible result. Your photos suggest that you probably are a candidate for a Tummy Tuck. The question is whether the shape of your abdomen is affected by an excess of fat, skin, muscle separation or laxity, or some combination thereof. This can only be determined by examination, so go ahead and consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Some of my patients elect to have liposuction first, and then opt for a Tummy Tuck if the results are not satisfying. See a board certified plastic surgeon to help guide you through the decision making process.

Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty benefits Lipoabdominoplasty is good to get excess fat that can't be reached with regular excision techniques. It is great to give your body a better contour. After three children, a tummy tuck may be the right one for you however you should see a PS for an assessment.

Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty vs tummy tuck This is actually an easy question to answer, if the patient is looking for the best result. Liposuction removes fat. It does not remove extra skin. It does not tighten the fascia. So if there is a problem with the fascia, it should be tightened. This requires a tummy tuck. If there is loose skin, this requires a tummy tuck. Modern tummy tucks come in many shapes and sizes and can be designed to treat patients with mild, moderate or severe problems of the fat, skin and fascia. Most modern tummy tucks also incorporate liposuction to some extent. Just don't fall for liposuction alone fixing the fascia or the loose skin. It only removes fat. A board certified plastic surgeon with an interest in abdominoplasty procedures can guide you through these issues. The anatomy is actually amazingly easy to understand if it is correctly pointed out.
