No.: In liposuction one sucka out excess fat through very small incisions.In tummy tuck one removes excess skin and fat
through larger incisions.Tummy tuck is lot more invasive.

Question 2

will i gain weight in weird places after a mini tummy tuck? ive heard that liposuction sometimes causes fat to accumulate in weird places on the body. is this a risk with a mini tummy tuck?

Accepted Answer

In : In a mini-tummy tuck the only skin and subcutaneous fat removed is from below the belly button. If you were to gain or lose weight after this surgery it may effect the way your abdomen looks but should not cause an odd or unusual accumulation of fat elsewhere.
Dr. Edwards.

Question 3

which is more effective? a tummy tuck or liposuction?

Accepted Answer

Depends!: It all depends on whether you have excessive fat but good skin and abdominal muscle quality or vice versa. Liposuction is indicated in the former and tummy tuck in the latter. Sometimes a combination of both procedures are done.

Question 4

please tell me the difference between tummy tuck and liposuction?

Tummy tuck: If you look at yourtummyand notice hanging skin, perhaps from pregnancy or weight loss (or both) then tummy tuck would probably be the right option.  If there is only minimal loose skin and some fatty deposition, liposuction may bea good choice.

Wait until older: Before resorting to surgery, see if exercises will achieve a similar result, particularly at your age. As you get older, exercise may not be as effective and if it really bothers you, in the hands of a good surgeon, it's fine.
