Tummy Tuck vs Liposuction and Laser Bra Breast Lift-Tampa

Tummy Tuck sounds peppy and has a zing to it whereas Liposuction sounds a bit authoritative and endearing. What’s in a name ? Sometimes words lead us to make a choice by the way they sound. Is there a need to know more about any of them?

I decided to sound out some specialists.

“Actually the decision as to what suits one best should be left to the surgeon”.

But I was persistent. I needed the sage counsel. It was a question of choice. I mean is there a way I can tell one from the other? The valuable nuggets I could gather are that in the chronological order Tummy Tuck is the senior and Liposuction followed later.

“ As a surgery Tummy Tuck is more extensive requiring broad strokes of incision whereas Liposuction requires only localized jabs and anesthesia too” said a Tummy Tuck Tampa specialist.

“The fundamental difference is Tummy Tuck involves removal of both excessive skin and fat whereas Liposuction is resorted to when the skin is still elastic and only removal of fat is necessitated”..

“Sometimes both the procedures can be combined. But for those whose fat does not respond to weight loss techniques and the deposit is localized Liposuction is preferable .For those with successful weight loss or with fluctuations of weight which results in the drooping of skin or for women who have had a couple of pregnancies Tummy Tuck is preferred” said a Tampa Tummy Tuck specialist.

Interestingly in Tummy Tuck the belly button moves down a bit. It all boils down to the anatomical disposition, the spread of fat and the elasticity of the skin.

Laser Bra Breast Lift

“Unlike the traditional breast lift where the tissue of the breast is removed, in Laser Bra breast lift, of the three layers of tissue that are present in the breast, a CO2 laser is used to remove the epidermis or the outer layer of the breast. This layer is then used to give support to the breasts by placing it against the wall of the chest”, told me the Breast Implants Tampa specialist.

“The placement of the live tissue will help the healing process by regulating blood circulation. The sensitivity of the nipples is thus retained and the ability to breast feed is not taken away”, said the Tampa breast Implants specialist.

This procedure is being followed only at few places in the U.S and is not yet wide spread.
