Making The Most Of Your Cosmetic Procedure

If you're overweight, liposuction can be an ideal form of cosmetic surgery to consider. Synonymous with helping you to lose fat, this procedure can rapidly transform the look of your body and make you smile when you look down at the bathroom scale. Your trips to the cosmetic surgery clinic don't have to end after you've had liposuction, however. There are several instances in which you may wish to have a tummy tuck procedure performed. Here are some reasons to schedule this cosmetic procedure after liposuction.

You're Unhappy With Your Flabby Skin

The issue with liposuction is that while it's effective for removing your abdominal fat, it doesn't change the appearance of your skin. This means that even after your assisted weight loss, your abdominal skin can be flabby and make you feel a bit embarrassed. A tummy tuck serves as the perfect procedure to consider at this time. With your midsection already thin, all you need to feel and look your best is to have the excess skin trimmed away to give you a sleek physique.

You've Gained A Bit Of Weight Back

Generally, it's a good strategy to wait to have liposuction until you're able to successfully manage your weight on your own. In other words, it's ideal if you can maintain your post-surgery weight through natural measures. However, this isn't always the case, and you might be concerned to notice that you're getting a little heavier in the months that follow your liposuction treatment. You may not have gained enough weight to warrant a follow-up liposuction treatment, so it could be a perfect time to think about a tummy tuck. In addition to dealing with flabby skin in this area, part of the tummy tuck process involves fat removal, so you can quickly get the abdominal appearance that you want.

You Want To Shed Further Pounds

Some people who opt for liposuction keep the procedure moderate. Perhaps they don't want to lose a significant amount of weight overnight, for example, as they don't want people asking about their rapid weight loss. In this situation, however, you may feel so much better after liposuction that you regret not using liposuction to lose more weight. Rather than go through a full liposuction again, you might opt for a tummy tuck — or even a mini tummy tuck procedure, which can be perfect in this situation to remove a bit of extra weight, as well as tighten your tummy skin.
