When asking what area of the body a patient is generally unhappy with, most answers point to the stomach. 

For male and female patients, the waistline is of specific concern, given that, commonly, excess weight gathers around the midsection. If a patient has lost weight, they often are not satisfied with the amount of excess skin present in their stomach area. 

Extra tissue, fat, and loose skin are a recipe for disaster on one's self-image. Patients want an ideal body, and they want it fast, therefore heading to the surgery room has become an increasingly popular option.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure In Dallas

The tummy tuck is a procedure most patients are familiar with. Yet, you may not know that there are several variants of a tummy tuck.

They are the following:

• Standard tummy tuck: The standard tummy tuck consists of placing an incision across the waistline, lifting the skin to tone, and tightening the entire abdominal area.
• Mini tummy tuck: The mini tummy tuck is optimal for patients who don't need much work on their stomachs. A shorter incision is placed, and the procedure is designed to tighten the lower abdominal tissue and muscles.
• Extended tummy tuck: This variant of tummy tuck provides the most significant degree of alteration and requires the most extended incision. The incision extends across the hips and lower back to tighten the abs, hips, and lower back.
• Modified tummy tuck: Surgeons allow you to customize the procedure to your liking. Alterations are only applied to the areas of the abdomen that require them.

Liposuction As An Alternative

Liposuction is a treatment that improves the contour and proportions of the body, specifically the stomach.

Liposuction consists of using a cannula, or a small tube, to vacuum fat from the body. It is ideal for patients who are close to or within their ideal body weight and have troublesome fat deposits that haven't been reduced through a healthy lifestyle.

Stomach Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck 

While these procedures offer similar objectives, such as reducing the amount of fat in the abdomen and tightening the skin, they are procedures that are of an abrasive and invasive nature.

This entails that sometimes their results are not optimal, they are prone to risks, and the recovery time is usually extensive.

Therefore, you should be interested in the AirSculpt® Tiny Tuck™ by Elite Body Sculpture. This process is much less invasive and doesn't involve drains and can be combined with other AirSculpt® procedures for a comprehensive transformation.
