What are the pros abdominoplasty ( compared with liposuction ) ?

The only patients for whom a tummy tuck is superior to abdominal liposuction are the relatively few women having excessive degrees of lower abdominal skin laxity, unusually large stretch marks, or severely stretched abdominal muscles (as a result of pregnancy). With this procedure surgically removes skin with severe stretch-marks (striae-distensae). Liposuction does not remove stretch marks. A tummy tuck can produce a flatter abdominal wall by tightening the abdominal muscles. Liposuction is suitable for patients who have abdominal muscles that not much stretched out after pregnancy. A tummy tuck can remove excessive amounts of loose abdominal skin. However, loose abdominal skin does not mean that a tummy tuck is necessary. After liposuction, abdominal skin often contracts to a surprising degree so that an excision is not necessary.
