Tightening the Skin with Tummy Tuck Surgery and Liposuction
Individuals who wish to achieve a slender, better-contoured abdomen may not be able to do so with regular exercise and a healthy diet. In today’s world, men and women who wish to shrink their waistline often opt to undergo a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure. Two of the most common body altering surgeries include liposuction and tummy tuck surgery. Designed to remove stubborn pockets of fat and eliminate excess skin, these procedures can provide dramatic results when performed together.
Although many patients have experienced satisfying results when undergoing liposuction (“lipoplasty”) and tummy tuck (“abdominoplasty”), there are potential risks associated with both of these procedures. With a tummy tuck, there is a long scar spanning across the lower abdomen. As for liposuction, the skin does not always retract enough to produce a smooth contour. Therefore, in order to avoid this permanent mark and tighten loose skin, Mokhtar Asaadi, M.D., F.A.C.S. offers a new technique in liposuction called the MAsterTuckSM. Using the VASER ® Lipo System technology, Dr. Asaadi can remove excess fat and provide tightening of skin with only one procedure. This method also reduces the appearance of scarring because incision sites are limited to small openings, and only big enough for the cannula to enter the target area. This procedure may provide the outcome that meets a person’s standards.
