Liposuction Procedure
Liposuction and abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, are body contouring procedures designed to eliminate excess fat, and improve a patient’s physique and self-esteem. If you are troubled by the appearance of stubborn, excess fat, you may be wondering which procedure is best for you. Oftentimes, the answer is – both! Combining liposuction with a tummy tuck has numerous advantages. In fact, these two procedures are paired together so frequently that this combination has its own name: lipoabdominoplasty.
What Is Lipoabdominoplasty?
What Are The Benefits Of Lipoabdominoplasty?
Reduced risk of seromas: One benefit of combining liposuction and a tummy tuck is that is poses a reduced risk of seromas, pockets of fluid beneath the skin. This is because during this combined procedure the ultrasound is used for shorter periods of time and the use of electro dissection is eliminated.
Reduced risk of blood loss: Blood loss is also reduced during lipoabdominoplasty as tissues are first injected with a fluid that contains epinephrine, which prevents the need for cautery dissection.
Reduced risk of blood clots: Combining liposuction and a tummy tuck also means that a modified general anesthesia can be used, which helps to prevent the risk of the development of blood clots in the legs without necessitating the use of blood-thinning medication. The intravenous anesthesia used also means that the recovery time is reduced and patients are less likely to experience nausea.
Reduced Cost
Combining two surgical procedures means that the cost of each procedure is reduced because the patient only needs to pay for many of the associated costs such as the OR fee and anesthesiologist’s fee once.
Reduced recovery time: In addition, combining a tummy tuck with liposuction means that the recovery time is reduced, as the patient only needs to take time off from work and other activities once. In Miami, tummy tuck and liposuction recovery should be as fast as possible to get people back out in the sun, enjoying their new shape.
Although there are many benefits to lipoabdominoplasty, combining these two procedures makes it a more complex surgery and may therefore affect the risks involved.
