Tummy tuck and liposuction
Tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck and liposculpture are different surgeries for different concerns. The consultation shows which one makes sense for your body.
Who it is usually for
A tummy tuck is usually recommended when there is loose skin and separated abdominal muscles, common after pregnancy. A mini tummy tuck treats smaller amounts of skin below the belly button. Liposculpture removes localized fat that does not respond to diet and exercise, when the skin has good elasticity.
None of them is a weight-loss treatment: ideally you should be close to your stable weight.
How the consultation works
In the consultation, Dr. Ivan examines your skin, muscles and fat distribution and explains the difference between the techniques in your case. If the idea is to combine liposuction with another surgery, the safe limit of operating time is discussed right away.
What recovery is usually like
It involves a compression garment, light walks early on and scheduled follow-ups. After a tummy tuck, it is common to stay slightly bent forward for the first days. The time to return to work and exercise is agreed in the consultation.
Every case is assessed individually. The indication, technique and recovery time are defined in the consultation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a mini and a full tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck treats a smaller amount of skin below the belly button, with a shorter scar. A full tummy tuck treats more skin and the muscles of the whole abdomen.
Is liposuction a way to lose weight?
No. Liposculpture treats localized fat in people who are already close to a stable weight. It does not replace diet, exercise or obesity treatment.
Can I have a tummy tuck and breast surgery together?
In some cases they can be combined, within a safe limit of operating time and after a good clinical assessment. When it is not safe, the plan is split into stages.
