A Little Liposuction With Your Tummy Tuck?

Minggu, 20 Juni 2010

If you’re of normal height and weight, and you feel you need a tummy tuck, you may also need some liposuction at the sides. Typically, this at the abdominal flank areas, or “love handle” areas.


With a tummy tuck, you will have the loose pouch of skin around your tummy removed. The surgical incision is in the same position as a C-section, just longer. Usually the incision goes from the left to the right pelvic bone. You can choose to put it as high or low as you wish, within reason. The length depends not only on your body, but also, how much loose skin you have.


The average person will need liposuction in the flank, or “love handle” areas. If you pinch the sides of your abdomen, you can probably pinch more than a handful of tissue. If this tissue is not part of your surgery, and nothing is done, then you will have it pushed out even more after your procedure is completed.


With the tummy tuck, you will have the the skin of the front portion of your abdominal skin removed and tightened. However, this incision can only be extended so far- you probably should not have it extend all the way towards your back. The love handle area is usually where the surgical incision stops. You usually need to do liposuction there to ensure that you can’t pinch your love handles after surgery.


In non-medical terms, it’s called a “muffin top” by some women. With liposuction that small amount of fat is removed.


Some patients are so thin that they don’t have excess fat to pinch. Although not common, if you’re one of these patients, you won’t need liposuction at the love hand areas.


The liposuction is done through the side of the tummy tuck scar, so no separate incision is made. Generally more fat is suctioned from the front, and tapered all the way to the lower back area.


Since you will need an abdominal binder or compression garment after surgery for your tummy tuck anyway, you will use the same garment to apply pressure to the love handle areas to get the skin as tight as possible after surgery.


Your figure will thank you if you consider some liposuction with your tummy tuck.
