Abdomen liposuction vs. a tummy tuck: what's different?

One removes fat, the other removes skin and tightens muscle

Abdomen liposuction removes stubborn fat with good skin elasticity. A tummy tuck also removes loose skin and tightens separated core muscles. Dr. Schneider will advise which fits your body and goals.

Am I a good candidate for abdomen liposuction?

A consultation confirms it

Good candidates are generally near their goal weight with stubborn abdominal fat and good skin elasticity. A private consultation with Dr. Schneider is the best way to be sure.

What is abdomen liposuction?

Flattening a stubborn midsection

Abdomen liposuction removes the stubborn belly fat that diet and exercise leave behind, flattening and contouring your midsection for a smoother, more defined shape.

What is recovery like after abdomen liposuction?

A week or two of downtime

Most patients return to normal activities within one to two weeks, wearing a compression garment as swelling settles. Dr. Schneider provides clear guidance and personal follow-up throughout.

Will abdomen liposuction tighten loose skin?

It treats fat, not loose skin

Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten significant loose skin. If loose skin is a concern, Dr. Schneider may recommend a tummy tuck instead, or a combination, for the best result.
