Q: What is the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction?
Liposuction is designed to remove localised fat deposits and refine body contour, but it does not address excess skin or muscle separation. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and may include tightening of the abdominal muscles, helping to improve both shape and support of the abdominal wall. In some cases, the two procedures can be combined to achieve the most balanced outcome.
