We know that, due to significant weight loss, having given birth, or natural aging changes, you may feel a little uncomfortable with your appearance. Therefore, remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen may be a major concern for you.
In plastic surgery, there are two procedures that can help you remove sagging skin and accumulated fat from your abdomen: Liposuction and Tummy Tuck. Both are effective solutions to achieve the goal of looking and feeling better with your body.
Today from Ideal Plastic Surgery we will explain what each of the procedures consists of and the key recommendations to take care of the results after surgery.
Liposuction: eliminates localized fat
Liposuction is an ideal surgery for those who, despite eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, are unable to get rid of localized fat that does not disappear. Lipo is used to remove fat in specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and neck.
It is important to note that Liposuction is not a weight loss solution, but a way to sculpt the body and give it a more defined appearance.
Post-Liposuction recommendations:
- Avoid intense physical exertion during the first few weeks.
- Take a prudent time to rest.
- Follow a balanced diet and drink enough water to promote a quick recovery and maintain the results obtained.
- Include physical activity in your daily routine.
Tummy Tuck: eliminating excess skin and fat
The Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a procedure designed for those who, in addition to fat, have excess skin in the abdominal area, often as a result of pregnancy or significant weight loss. During this procedure, excess skin and fat can be removed and, in many cases, the abdominal muscles are strengthened to obtain a firmer and flatter abdomen.
Post-abdominoplasty recommendations:
- Avoid heavy lifting for the first few weeks to protect the repaired muscles.
- Walk lightly to activate circulation and accelerate recovery, but without forcing the abdomen.
- Follow a balanced diet and include physical activity in your daily routine.
Both Liposuction and Tummy Tuck offer ideal results to remove excess skin and fat, but it is essential to take care of yourself after the procedures to maintain the results in the long term.
