Tummy Tuck vs. Liposuction: Which is Right for You?

Have you walked through the store in Lubbock and seen swimwear on display yet? It may seem like the holidays just ended, but we are already being reminded to get ready for pool season. If the thought of putting on a swimsuit makes you cringe, now might be the perfect time to consider a cosmetic procedure to get rid of unwanted belly fat or loose skin.

Dramatic Results with a Tummy Tuck

Flabby, hanging belly skin is a problem for many people, especially for those who have lost a significant amount of weight or women who have had children. This procedure eliminates that loose skin and tightens the tummy and abdominal muscles. Not even the best personal trainer can help you get rid of extra skin. A skilled plastic surgeon, however, can give you the flatter, leaner tummy that will help you feel more confident in this season’s swimwear.

Body Contouring with Liposuction

Liposuction can have a remarkable effect on the shape of your body. This procedure works well for people who struggle with fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. While it is not considered a weight loss surgery, liposuction targets specific areas of fat to enhance the natural curves of your body. Depending on the amount of loose skin you have on your abdomen, your board-certified Lubbock surgeon may recommend that liposuction is done in conjunction with a tummy tuck.

Call the Experts

Only a board-certified plastic surgeon can give you the best advice on which procedure will give you the best results. Trust a surgeon with plenty of experience; doing your research will pay off. If you dread swimsuit season because of how you feel about your body, a plastic surgeon with skill and expertise can give you back your confidence by helping you feel good in your own skin.
