Many of our Beverly Hills patients have heard that liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can both make dramatic differences in their appearance, but how do you know which one is right for you?
During your consultation with Dr. Mashhadian, he will listen to your body goals and help you determine which procedures will give you the results you want. However, you should understand the basics about the procedures you are considering.
Liposuction is a less invasive procedure than a tummy tuck. With liposuction, Dr. Mashhadian can remove unwanted fat and give you the body contours you want. It can also be used in areas other than your abdomen. Popular liposuction treatment areas include the thighs, calves, arms, and buttocks.
Tummy tuck is an excellent procedure to reduce excess tissue, skin, and fat around your abdomen. The results from a tummy tuck will have a greater impact on the appearance of your abdominal region, but the procedure does require a longer recovery time.
