Why you should get a tummy liposuction instead of a full tummy tuck
Tummy liposuction is the treatment which is now being used as an alternative to abdominoplasty, also called tummy tuck. The liposuction reduces the surgery time and the patient will not get a hip to hip scar which is common with the tummy tuck. This is the treatment that requires the use of Vaser liposuction in order to remove the fat and also to tighten skin. Vaser energy hits up the collagen fibers and it causes them to contract at once which leads to the tightening effect of your tummy.
For many people, the results are seen in 6 to 8 weeks but the results can be different from one patient to another. The result improves up to 12 months when the maximum results will be reached and there will be improvement in skin quality. This procedure will require light sedation with local anesthetic and patients are recommended to keep off work for 3 to 5 days.
Who should get a tummy liposuction?
The right candidate to get a tummy liposuction are women who have enough elasticity in their skin and there is no excessive amount of loose skin but they should not be suffering from muscle separation. When women suffer from loose skin with too much fat, they may not feel confident in most clothes and it may be a good idea to undergo Vaser liposuction. After talking to a doctor, the surgeon will assess the situation and give you an advice on the right procedure to undergo.
The difference between a tummy tuck and vaser liposuction
With a tummy tuck, you get large scars around the abdomen but with a vaser liposuction, you get tiny scars. A tummy tuck is best for someone who has loose and excessive skin, but a vaser liposuction is better for someone who has loose skin in moderation. A tummy tuck requires general anesthesia but a vaser liposuction requires conscious sedation. A tummy tuck requires prolonged recovery which may reach up to a month, but a vaser liposuction ensures quick recovery which may be only a week. A tummy tuck can repair muscle separation but a vaser liposuction will not do so.
