At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we utilize advanced liposuction techniques, including Vaser Liposuction, enabling us to target even the most tenacious pockets of fat without damaging surrounding muscles or tissue. Popular liposuction treatment areas include:
  • Thighs
  • Saddle Bags and Banana Rolls
  • Abdomen and Flanks
  • Upper Back and Chest
  • Upper Arms
  • Neck and Chin
Depending on your specific needs and goals, it is possible to perform liposuction on several areas during a single surgical procedure. Tummy tuck vs liposuction

Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) is designed to eliminate loose and sagging skin from the midsection. When needed, this procedure can also be used to tighten separated abdominal muscles, serving to draw in the waist and provide certain physical benefits including reduced low back pain. With tummy tuck surgery, Dr. Ravi is able to trim and tone the belly, decrease or eliminate stretch marks, and create a well-defined torso. Many patients experience increased self-esteem and enhanced clothing options following this procedure, particularly when it is performed after more substantial weight loss.

Removing Fat During Tummy Tuck Surgery

The abdomen is home to some of the body’s most stubborn fat deposits. Abdominal fat is often resistant to dietary changes and may even fail to respond to rigorous exercise. For these reasons and more, abdominal liposuction is commonly necessary during tummy tuck surgery. Liposuction may also be needed on the flanks and waist to ensure optimal tummy tuck results. During your initial consultation at our Houston office, we will take the time necessary to understand your needs and desires. Providing honest and upfront information about all of your options, we will work to guide you towards the treatments best suited to help you reach your goals.
