Many men and women struggle with unwanted fat. At times, even after months of diet and exercise, it is difficult to eliminate fat specially in problem areas such as the hips, thighs, stomach, and neck. For the abdomen and waist areas, options to remove fat include liposuction and abdominoplasty (also known as the tummy tuck). Which procedure is best?
Depending on the amount of excess fat to be removed, I would consider abdominal liposuction as the preferred initial procedure. It is an excellent method of spot reduction which involves removing fat tissue by a suctioning technique (with a special machine), and contouring the body area to obtain the desired shape. Liposuction takes a few hours and the patient is able to walk around immediately after the procedure. It may be done as an outpatient procedure, minimizing costs.
Abdominal skin contracts remarkably after liposuction. If there is loose skin still remaining after 6 months, this can be easily removed as an outpatient surgery procedure under local anesthesia only.
Abdominal liposuction entails less risk than a tummy-tuck. The surgical removal of excess skin and fat in the tummy tuck operation involves a wide curvilinear incision from the left side to the right side, mobilization of the skin from the pubic region up to the ribs, and placing of drains. It is an in-patient hospital procedure which takes from 2 to 6 hours under general anesthesia. The patient stays in the hospital from 5 to 7 days.
