Many people who want a flatter stomach wonder what is actually best, a tummy tuck or lipo-suction? Both procedures are designed to give a slimmer and more defined waist, but they work in completely different ways and are suitable for different needs. Here at Estetikcentrum we have many years of experience with both options and we will help you find the method that best suits your needs and circumstances.
Restore the shape of your stomach with abdominoplasty
An abdominal operation (or abdominoplasty as it is also called) is an intervention that goes deeper than a regular lipo-suction. This is not just about removing fat, but about recreating a stomach that is smoother and firmer. By removing excess skin and tightening it, we can restore the shape of the stomach, which is especially appreciated after pregnancy or significant weight loss. The result is a flatter stomach, a narrower waist and in many cases you will also get rid of stretch marks.
We recommend abdominoplasty for you who:
- Have excess skin that doesn't go away with exercise
- Experiencing a sagging stomach after pregnancy or weight loss
- Want to get back a firmer stomach and a more balanced body
En abdominoplasty can in many cases be combined with liposuction to achieve optimal results. What is best for you will be discussed in more detail when you book a consultation with us. Many of our patients feel that their abdominoplasty has made a huge difference both physically and mentally. Self-confidence grows and clothes fit better.
When is liposuction a better option?
En abdominoplasty However, it is not suitable for everyone and sometimes lipo-suction a better alternative. Liposuction is a less extensive procedure that is aimed at those of you who have stubborn fat deposits, but still have good elasticity in your skin. This means that the skin can contract on its own after the fat is removed. However, if your skin is loose or sagging, liposuction can give an uneven result and then a tummy tuck is often a better alternative.
Liposuction may be right for you if:
- Have localized fat deposits despite being at a healthy weight
- Has good elasticity in the skin
- Want a smaller procedure and shorter recovery
