LEESBURG, VA–(Marketwired – Sep 13, 2016) – According to Loudoun County Plastic Surgeon Behzad Parva, MD, two of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the country are tummy tucks (abdominoplasty surgery) and liposuction. These techniques have some similarities, but he says each offers unique benefits, and the right choice for each patient will depend on many factors. Dr. Parva suggests that a highly skilled and extensively trained plastic surgeon should be able to recommend the optimal method (or methods) as well as tailor the operation to best suit an individual’s needs and goals.
Liposuction, explains Dr. Parva, is used to remove excess fat from targeted locations on the body, including the stomach, hips and thighs. Although not a weight loss method, he says this fat reduction technique can help men and women improve body contours when diet and exercise are insufficient. Tummy tuck is also a body contouring procedure. However, Dr. Parva indicates that this operation is designed to reduce excess skin and tighten loose muscles in the stomach, especially after pregnancy or dramatic weight loss. While the procedure can help improve the overall appearance of one’s abdominal area, he adds, it is not designed to reduce local fat accumulation when performed alone.
In many cases, Dr. Parva says liposuction and abdominoplasty can often be combined to achieve a more comprehensive aesthetic improvement. He notes that patients who wonder if liposuction or tummy tuck surgery would be more appropriate for the desired outcome may find that using the two treatments together may be the ideal approach. The most important issue, he emphasizes, is choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon with the skill and training needed to provide excellent care at every stage of treatment.
