Abdominoplasty With Liposuction (Eliminate Excess Fat And Achieve Firm Abdomen)

· Those in Seoul looking for skin and muscle tightening treatment.
· Those with fats deposits that are difficult to remove after giving birth.
· Those with balanced diet but has loose skin.
· Those who wish to remove excess fat deposit or loose abdominal skin.
· Those who wish to tighten their abdominal muscles.

Abdominoplasty and liposuction are two treatments with similar aims but different surgical procedures.
While liposuction focuses on removing all the excess fats from every specific part of the body and hence helps to achieve a well-sculpted body, abdominoplasty involves a more complex procedure that aims to remove abdominal fats and tighten the muscle and skin for the ideal flat abdominal appearance.

At our affiliated clinic, the two treatments can be performed simultaneously to fully contour the body.

Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck is certainly not suitable for the ones facing obesity; instead, the treatment helps the ones with a healthy lifestyle to achieve a shapelier body. After fat removal, excess loose skin will be removed as well to tighten the skin and enhance body appearance. Moreover, muscle tightening can also be done with this procedure.

Q1: When will the stitches from my abdominoplasty procedure be removed?
A1: Stitches can be removed around 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure.

Q2: When will the finalized results appear?
A2: The result of abdominoplasty is spectacular right after the surgery, but the final shape of the abdomen area will be apparent after a few months.

Q3: Is the result permanent?
A3: A good weight control diet and exercise regimen will help you keep your post-tummy tuck form. Pregnancy and significant fluctuations in weight will negate the results of surgery.

Q4: How is abdominoplasty different from liposuction?
A4: While liposuction removes excess fat through draining, abdominoplasty focuses on reshaping the abdominal muscles and removing excess skin in addition to removing excess fat. Abdominoplasty only targets that abdominal area, whilst liposuction can be performed on many parts of the body.

Q5: How long should I focus on resting after my abdominoplasty?
A5: For better care, resting for 1 month is ideal. During this time, avoid strenuous physical activities.
