Lipo or skin tightening? π€ Itβs one of the most common questions we get, and the answer depends on whatβs actually bothering you.
β¨ Liposuction is best when youβre dealing with stubborn fat pockets that just wonβt budge, even with diet and exercise. Lipo removes fat cells for good, creating a smoother, more sculpted contour. But hereβs the catch β it doesnβt do anything for loose or stretched skin. :/
β¨ Skin tightening or lift procedures (like a tummy tuck, arm lift, or thigh lift) are the right choice if extra, sagging skin is the main issue. These surgeries remove excess skin, sometimes tighten the underlying muscles, and reshape the area for a firmer, more balanced look.
In many cases, the best results actually come from combining the two! That way, you get smoother curves and a toned silhouette.
Curious which option is right for you? Letβs chat!
