The Perfect Pairing: the SMART Tummy Tuck and 360-Degree Liposuction

Both

Tummy Tucks

(also known as abdominoplasty) and

Liposuction

have remained two of the most popular plastic surgery procedures for good reason: they are both excellent methods of body contouring. Liposuction works by eliminating isolated pockets of fat just about anywhere, most commonly the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. A Tummy Tuck addresses the abdomen by removing excess skin, tightening core muscles and providing a tighter midsection. While tummy tucks and liposuction can do wonders, addressing only a single area may not provide the degree of body sculpting most patients are looking for. This is where the innovative SMART Tummy Tuck with 360-Degree Liposuction from Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics’ board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Ravi Somayazula can be a game-changer.

What makes 360-Degree Liposuction special?

Liposuction can eliminate fat almost anywhere on the body. However, sometimes only eliminating the fat in one area may bring focus onto nearby unaddressed pockets of fat. If the fat at the front of the abdomen is removed, but the fat still remains at the waist or your back, you could still have a muffin.

So, i

nstead of only relying on liposuction to remove fat from a single area, 360-Degree Liposuction can provide comprehensive results by treating the entire midsection and back. This includes liposuction of the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, mons, waist, flanks, back and bra rolls. Dr. Ravi uses this all-encompassing strategy to target all the areas of extra fat and smooth out the body from all directions. The treatment improves multiple areas at one time, creating a curvier, more contoured figure that looks great from every angle. The results of a balanced, proportional figure better meet our patients’ aesthetic goals. 360-Degree Liposuction uses the same power-assisted liposuction technique that is trusted for a single area. Dr. Ravi chooses 360-Degree Liposuction to give patients a more individualized option for their body sculpting procedure. The technique involves moving the patient during surgery to incorporate liposuction on the back, on sides and abdomen . Dr. Ravi can custom-tailored each 360-Degree Liposuction treatment plan to address a larger area, creating a desirable, more youthful figure.

How can 360-Degree Liposuction Can Be Combined with a SMART Tummy Tuck for Even Better Results?

A drawback to liposuction is the potential for loose tissue. If the skin does not have good elasticity, it will not bounce back smoothly in a taut position. The stretched skin does not respond well to diet or exercise, making a Tummy Tuck a great option. Patients are ecstatic with a smooth and tight abdomen after a Tummy Tuck alone, however they are more likely to

notice fat rolls on their back now.

This technique also ensures a thin abdominal scar that is easily concealed under a swimsuit or underwear. Safer than traditional procedures, the SMART Tummy Tuck minimizes blood loss while optimizing comfort after the procedure. This state-of-the-art technique decreases post-op pain, limiting the need for narcotic medications, thus leaving a patient feeling more awake and energetic right after surgery.
