Understanding the Relationship Between Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

 Is liposuction commonly done with a tummy tuck? 

When considering a tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, many individuals wonder if liposuction is commonly performed along with it. To shed light on this, we turned to Dr. Justin Martin, a renowned plastic surgeon. 

"Liposuction and tummy tucks are often combined procedures," says Dr. Martin. "Liposuction can be performed to target specific areas of excess fat, while a tummy tuck focuses on removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles." 

Dr. Martin explains that the decision to include liposuction in a tummy tuck surgery depends on individual needs and goals. "Some patients may benefit from both procedures to achieve the desired outcome, while others may only require a tummy tuck." 

It's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Martin to determine the most suitable approach for your unique situation. Dr. Martin emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment plans to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction. 

If you're considering a tummy tuck and are curious about the role of liposuction, schedule a consultation with Dr. Justin Martin to discuss your options and tailor a treatment plan that best suits your needs.
