4. Liposuction May Be Part of Your Treatment
Your surgeon may actually recommend liposuction as part of your overall surgery. This is not simply to get you or your insurance company to pay more money, but it is often a necessary – or at the very least highly recommended – procedure.
The reason the liposuction is used with a tummy tuck procedure is that it can help to shape the waist the way that the patient intended. For example, in the abdominal area and the area with love handles, a tummy tuck alone may not be enough to get them looking like the patient had hoped they would. But by targeting those areas with liposuction, your surgeon will be able to sculpt those areas much more to your liking.
That’s because when the skin from the upper abdomen gets pulled down it can lead to a bulge on the hips and show up in love handles. In order to get the very best results, liposuction or fat-to-fat grafts may be used to reshape the area.
