There are several major surgical Texas liposuction procedures for both men and women. These may be performed on healthy persons with loose skin and large fat deposits in their abdominal area and other areas of the body. Here we will consider abdominoplasty, often called a tummy tuck.
Abdominoplasty helps reduce fat in your abdomen, which leaves a permanent, often visible scar down the length of your hipbones. Usually, the obese whose skins are not elastic, or women who intend to stop bearing children, but whose previous pregnancy may have stretched their abdominal muscles, opt for this procedure. It would depend largely on how much fat you want removed and your kind of skin, as well as the area you want treated, to determine which procedure to do.
The tummy tuck involves a cut along the length from your hipbones, and around the navel, where the skin is taken away along the abdominal wall going to the ribs. Your doctor tightens the muscles in the abdomen, removing excess fat in the abdomen, and pulling the skin down. This is cut off and the remaining flap put back in place and sewn along the initial cut.
The mini-tummy tuck, a more limited procedure, is often done with tumescent liposuction. This is effective for many persons, like those who have lost muscle tone and elasticity of skin in their lower abdomen. The procedure uses a very smaller incision, but is also effective, and you can recover faster too. This is good for those with just a little tummy problem.
Finally, panniculectomy is a surgical procedure for removing the large overlap of skin on your lower abdomen. When the morbidly obese person has lost a considerable amount of weight, there is a risk of the person having chronic and persistent skin problems including intertrigo, cellulites, necrosis, and inflammation of subcutaneous adipose tissue. So the condition should often be corrected. Panniculectomy does not touch the abdominal muscles, but only the excess fat and skin in the “apron” hanging from just above the mons pubis to the knees or lower.
Texas ultrasonic liposuction , which allows fat to be emulsified by sound waves before slowly being removed, lies in your surgeon’s ability to remove more fat, with less blood loss in your abdominal area. Contact us now to help you decide on the liposuction treatment best for you.
