Choosing between a tummy tuck without liposuction or liposuction without tummy tuck–or the combination of both procedures-depends entirely on your body goals. A tummy tuck without liposuction focuses on removing loose skin and tightening weakened abdominal muscles—making it perfect for post-pregnancy patients or those with significant weight loss. No fat removal is necessary for a dramatic improvement in abdominal shape and firmness.
In contrast, liposuction without tummy tuck—also casually referred to as lipo without a tummy tuck or lipo but no tummy tuck—is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity and localized fat deposits. This fat-removal-only option won’t improve sagging skin or correct muscle separation. Additionally, if you’re dealing with muscle separation but have minimal excess skin or fat, you may be a candidate for diastasis recti surgery without a tummy tuck. We’ll help you decide which approach or combination of treatments will deliver the most satisfying, long-lasting outcome.
