how lipoabdominoplasty differs from a traditional tummy tuck
If you want a flatter, tighter waistline but also need to get rid of stubborn fat, lipoabdominoplasty could be your answer.
At Bulan Plastic Surgery in Millburn, NJ, Dr. Erwin Bulan combines art and advanced skill to reshape your abdomen beautifully. He developed refined body contouring skills over a 20-plus year career and has additional specialized training in high-tech fat removal techniques. As a Super Doctor award winner for seven consecutive years and winner of City’s Best Doctor in Millburn, patients in Union, Morris, and Essex Counties consider him the go-to choice for advanced body contouring. Read on to learn how lipoabdominoplasty takes tummy tuck to the next level.
Traditional Tummy Tuck vs. Lipoabdominoplasty
With a traditional tummy tuck, the primary focus is removing loose skin and tightening weakened abdominal muscles as needed. Dr. Bulan may also reposition the navel to create a smooth, natural contour.
Although removing extra skin eliminates a small amount of attached fat, the medium and large-sized pockets of fat in the area aren’t addressed with this type of surgery. So, a traditional tummy tuck flattens and firms the abdomen, leaving any surrounding fat untouched.
Lipoabdominoplasty adds a whole new dimension to tummy tuck by incorporating targeted fat removal (liposuction.)
With lipoabdominoplasty, Dr. Bulan follows the same steps as a traditional tummy tuck but also removes pockets of fat from the front and sides of the abdomen. This added contouring creates a smoother, more hourglass-shaped silhouette than a tummy tuck alone can achieve.
What Makes Lipoabdominoplasty a Good Fit
Lipoabdominoplasty may be the right choice if you want a flatter, tighter abdomen and also:
- Have stubborn fat deposits in the upper or lower belly that won’t budge with diet and exercise
- Desire more shapely, defined waist and hip contours
- Want a dramatic transformation with a single surgery
Dr. Bulan is often praised for his artistic eye because he can work with you to identify other areas, like the upper belly, hips, and back, that might need additional contouring to complement your new abdominal shape.
Because Dr. Bulan has advanced training in specialized liposuction techniques, he can customize your lipoabdominoplasty surgery to your unique needs for the best possible outcome.
