Your body sculpting dreams can be realized at CI plastic surgery clinic in Chicago.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction surgery is one of the most common and popular plastic surgeries in the USA. Essentially, it is a way to eliminate stubborn fat & flab that do not seem to respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction can be performed on many parts of the body. The most common are the buttocks, thighs, abdomen, buttocks, back and arms.

It's worth noting, however, that you can also do liposuction to remove a double chin or to complete a facelift or breast augmentation. For our purposes today we mainly focus on abdominal liposuction.

There are different types of liposuction surgeries, and when you join us for a consultation, we will be happy to consider the different options. For now, just know that liposuction involves surgical incisions in the target area and then the excess / unwanted fat cells are literally sucked out of the body.

By removing these fat cells permanently, liposuction can produce really long-lasting results, allowing you to enjoy the contour you've always wanted. CI plastic surgery clinic in Chicago is happy to perform liposuction with tummy tuck surgery.

What is a tummy tuck?

Another way to prepare your swimwear is with a tummy tuck. Also known as a tummy tuck, this is another very common form of plastic surgery in which the surgeon removes excess fat, tissue and fluid from the abdomen and also repairs weakened abdominal muscles.

As a result, a tummy tuck will not only help get rid of stubborn flabbiness. It will also ensure that you have a smooth, firm, and firm tummy. As with liposuction, there are several types of abdominoplasty. For example, patients can choose between a full or circular tummy tuck, or even a "mini" tummy tuck.

Our surgeons will help you make that decision, which really comes down to just your body's personal concerns and your shaping goals.    

At CI, we are delighted to have tummy tuck surgery in Chicago. Contact us when you want to know more.

Can I Combine Liposuction with Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Yes. In fact, these common cosmetic procedures are all performed together, which is why this combination is often named: Fat abdominoplasty surgery in Chicago. Liposuction and tummy tuck surgery (better known as tummy tuck surgery) are body contouring procedures designed to improve your body shape and enhance confidence by removing excess fat.

If you are concerned about the shortened fat area or loose, sagging skin around the abdomen, you may want to know which surgery is right for you. In most cases, a combination procedure is a good choice. Lipoabdominoplasty provides improved contouring results that exceed both of these procedures alone.    

What is the difference between Tummy tuck and liposuction?

The two treatments are often referred to interchangeably. It's not hard to see why: they both help to streamline your life. However, they are very different.

Liposuction is a body contouring surgery that can treat different parts of the body through small and easily concealed incisions. This process uses suction to remove pockets of subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat is located under the second layer of skin and is usually not affected by diet and exercise. Only liposuction can help remove fat from the abdomen, back, inner and outer thighs, chin, arms and knees.

Unfortunately, it cannot eliminate excess skin or sagging muscles. Or, abdominal wrinkles are mainly aimed at sagging skin, removing excess skin and tightening sagging or separated abdominal muscles, thereby making the physique more healthy. Excess skin cannot be removed through diet and exercise because it is caused by poor tissue elasticity.

How effective is Lipoabdominoplasty?    

During this combined procedure, liposuction is first performed to remove excess fat from the abdominal area. The subcutaneous fat is filled with saline. The last step involves the removal of fat cells by aspiration.    

A tummy tuck is then performed to remove excess skin and tissue, which gives the belly a flatter appearance. The abdominal muscles are tightened to reduce the waist circumference before removing the loose skin in the abdominal area. The remaining skin is then bonded in a more aesthetic way.

The first step is to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Dhaval, one of the best plastic surgeons in Chicago.
