Benefits of Combining Abdominoplasty & Liposuction

Posted in Abdominoplasty, Liposuction

When efforts to eat a healthy diet and exercise on a regular basis prove to be insufficient, women and men seeking to attain a slimmer, more toned contour in their midsection have several body sculpting options—two of which are abdominoplasty and liposuction. While both of these techniques can be employed on their own to achieve exceptional results for the right patients, many individuals benefit most when the two treatments are performed in conjunction with one another.

Abdominoplasty, also referred to as tummy tuck surgery, is designed to excise loose, redundant skin in the mid to lower abdomen, as well as to tighten stretched muscles of the abdominal wall. In contrast, liposuction is designed to diminish (or even eliminate) localized buildups of fatty tissue without the excision of any skin. Since the majority of people experience a combination of excess fat and skin accumulation in the abdominal region (as opposed to simply one concern or the other), Dr. Daniel C. Mills often pairs tummy tuck surgery and liposuction together to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking outcome possible. With this approach, extra skin above and/or below the belly button is removed, lax abdominal musculature is repaired, and liposuction is used to further sculpt and tone the entire treatment region for an optimal result that blends seamlessly with the natural contours of the patient’s body.

If you live in the Orange County, CA area and are considering cosmetic surgery to recontour your midsection, Dr. Mills would be happy to meet with you and help you achieve your goals. Following a thorough assessment of your specific needs and concerns, he can determine whether abdominoplasty, liposuction, or a combination of the two would be the most beneficial treatment option for your unique desires.
