Tummy Tuck Pain Vs Liposuction Pain

Hi.  Rather than focusing on the pain issues, let's look at the bigger picture.  It would be fairly unusual, in a 19 year old male, to need a tummy tuck.  Have you lost a massive amount of body weight?

Also, since you had your liposuction fairly recently, it may be that your skin has not yet had time to contract.  It really takes about 6 months.

I would recommend a little patience.  I know this may not be the answer you were hoping for.  

Speak with your surgeon about your results and your frustrations, but give it a little more time.

 

All the best,

Hi there-
Because a tummy tuck involves tightening of the abdominal musculature, while liposuction occurs entirely in the subcutaneous plane, a tummy tuck will be much more painful.
I agree with Dr. Rand, however... Unless you've experienced a massive weight gain and loss cycle, I can't imagine why a tummy tuck would be in your best interests.
