Is liposuction and tummy tuck the same?

Answers (3)

Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck are not the same.

Liposuction is done by first putting fluid into the fat and then the doctor basically sucks the fat out with a long tube called a cannula.

A Tummy Tuck is for people who have lose skin. It's usually done when someone has gained too much or lost too much weight or after a woman has had kids, or if you want to get rid of stretch marks or get back some skin tone
you are tightening the skin around the belly area which is more invasive. If you just want to get rid of fat, you should go with liposuction.

They are not the same because tummy tuck is a surgery that focuses on the abdomen, to make it more firm. While on the other hand, a liposuction is the removal of fat from the different parts of the body (not just abdomen)

No, they are not the same. Although liposuction and tummy tuck can go along and be performed at the same time, both are distinctive. Tummy tuck is used to remove the excess fat in the tummy area, on the other hand, liposuction sucks the excess fat deposited in small areas of your body. Lotusmedicalinternational.com is able to explain these two types of surgeries most men and women would like to have. One thing though, this surgery is not used to lose weight, but just to enhance and sculpture your body.
