3. Liposuction and tummy tucks are the top two procedures
that spring to mind when considering plastic surgeries
that aim for a flatter, tighter and slimmer abdomen.
However, there are some key differences that you should
know
4. • Liposuction in dubai is less extreme plastic surgery.
• However, this procedure is most suitable for those with
good skin quality and no abdominal muscle laxity.
• The procedure removes small to moderate amounts of
excess fat deposits, sculpting your body into a more
LIPOSUCTION :
5. • The abdomen is a popular area for liposuction, along
with the thigh, flanks liposuction, and neck.
• There are different techniques for liposuction like chest
liposuction, back liposuction, etc. and surgeons can
combine it with broader plastic surgeries like full-on
mummy make-overs.
6. Liposuction involves the insertion of a thin rod through a
small skin incision made near the treated region. Through
this rod, the surgeon can loosen and suction out excess fat
beneath your skin. There are different types of lipo
techniques, some utilizing ultrasound energy (Vaser
Liposuction) and others using laser energy instead to
dislodge fat (Laser Liposuction).
How Liposuction Works :
7. • A tummy tuck in dubai ( abdominoplasty), is a more
extensive plastic surgery procedure that involves the
tightening of your abdominal muscles, as well as the
excision and removal of any excess skin.
• It can correct your protruding apron belly. Just like
liposuction, it can also be a part of other plastic
surgeries, such as Mommy Make-Overs.
TUMMY TUCK
8. Depending on your aesthetic
goal, your plastic surgeon will
choose from four main types of
abdominoplasty.
9. • Mini-Tummy Tuck: It involves your lower abdomen only.
Usually a great option for those who suffer from a
mommy pooch following pregnancy, or those with loose
excess skin and stretch marks below their belly button.
• Full Tummy Tuck: Also known as classic
abdominoplasty, mainly targets excess skin folds and
roundness across the full length of your abdominal wall,
both below and above your belly button.
10. • Fleur-de-lis Tummy Tuck: This is a more extensive type of
abdominoplasty. It’s perfect for women and men who have
excessive amounts of abdominal overhanging skin and
stubborn fat. A vertical abdominoplasty is another name for
this procedure.
• Extended Tummy Tuck: An extended abdominoplasty is not
limited to your abdominal region, but also involves the
removal of a significant amount of excess skin or fatty tissue
from your hips or lower back “love handle” area.
12. Liposuction is ideal if you:
• Have small, isolated fat deposits that are responding to
neither diet nor exercise
• Feel you have certain bulging areas that are out of
proportion with the rest of your figure
• Have good skin quality, and excess sagging skin is not a
problem
• Are or near your target weight, as lipo isn’t a weight-loss
tool
13. Tummy Tuck is more suitable if you :
• You have excess overhanging skin around your belly,
after significant weight loss
• Are in good shape, but suffer from a belly that sticks out
• Have completed your family (no more pregnancies), and
want to tighten your abdominal muscles and skin
• Can’t achieve a toned abdomen nor 6-packs, despite diet
and exercise
15. • This combination is so common in the cosmetic plastic
surgery industry that it has its own name:
Lipoabdominoplasty.
• Combining both liposuction and abdominoplasty surgery
into one versatile procedure extends the pool of surgery
candidates to include obese patients wishing to get rid of
overhanging belly fat and skin for a flatter stomach and a
slimmer midsection.
16. Liposuction – Recovery
• Liposculpture is an outpatient procedure done under
general anaesthesia. This means you’ll likely be able to go
home only hours after surgery.
• After your surgery, you will experience some pain,
bruising, and swelling at the site of your fat removal. It
lasts for only a few days.
17. You will be able to manage the majority of your discomfort with
home remedies and over-the-counter medication. In the right
qualified surgical hands, recovery after liposuction is
remarkably quick. Most patients are able to resume their
regular activity within 48 hours after their surgery and can
return to their work a couple of days after.
18. • It is a more invasive procedure compared to lipo,
therefore, a longer recovery period is expected and
natural. Abdominoplasty is an outpatient procedure as
well, and you will likely be able to go home the same
day.
• Like any other cosmetic surgery, pain, bruising, and
swelling are part of the tummy tuck recovery process.
Tummy tuck surgery – Recovery
19. • The expected soreness and discomfort will last about a
week or so, with the worst of it being in the first three
days following your abdominoplasty surgery Like any
other cosmetic surgery, pain, bruising, and swelling are
part of the tummy tuck recovery process.
• Your plastic surgeon will prescribe you some heavier
medications to make the pain more manageable.
20. • It takes about two to four weeks before you can resume
your normal daily routine, and up to six weeks for the initial
phase of the tummy tuck recovery period to pass. You will
have several follow-up appointments to track how you’re
healing. During this time, you should avoid and strenuous
activity that may cause tension on your incisions and delay
recovery.
21. Liposuction Vs Tummy Tuck
– Results
Both procedures can achieve a
flatter, tighter belly with relatively
long-term results.
22. After your liposuction, you’ll enjoy a flatter stomach.
Liposculpture removes your excess fat deposits, and the results
are meant to be permanent. However, it’s crucial that you
maintain a stable weight to make sure that your new and
improved body contour looks its best. If you gain weight in the
future, your fat will reaccumulate in other locations in your body,
though not the areas that have been suctioned
LIPOSUCTION
23. The improvements made during your abdominoplasty procedure
are meant to last. Your abdominal muscles will remain tight and
firm, and any excess skin removed will not return unless a future
pregnancy or weight fluctuations stretch out your abdominal area
again. Therefore, it’s best to complete your family size and reach
your target weight before scheduling your tummy tuck
procedure.

24. Tummy Tuck VS
Liposuction – Cost
Both procedures can achieve a
flatter, tighter belly with relatively
long-term results.
25. It’s hard to put a price tag on any cosmetic procedure, be it
liposculpture or abdominoplasty as everybody is different.
• Your plastic surgeon fees
• The extent of your procedure
• If it’s done in combination with other procedures
(e.g., with breast lift surgery in Mummy make-over)
• Hospital setting,
• And your geographic location.
26. liposuction is decidedly more pocket-friendly than
abdominoplasty. However, both liposculpture and tummy
tuck patients are satisfied with their final results and find the
cost very reasonable and well worth it.
27. Conclusion
Undergoing any type of cosmetic surgery is not a decision
that should be taken lightly. And even though both
liposuction and tummy tuck procedures aim to make your
stomach look and feel tighter, and your body slimmer, they
remain different in their patient criteria, recovery period,
promised results, complications, and final cost.
