Lipo or skin tightening? 🤔 It’s one of the most common questions we get, and the answer depends on what’s actually bothering you.
✨ Liposuction is best when you’re dealing with stubborn fat pockets that just won’t budge, even with diet and exercise. Lipo removes fat cells for good, creating a smoother, more sculpted contour. But here’s the catch — it doesn’t do anything for loose or stretched skin. :/
✨ 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.
