Liposuction helps with contouring by removing excess stubborn fat alone in specific areas of the body, in this case the tummy, love handles and flank bulges. Whereas tummy tuck has multiple components including removal of excess hanging skin and fat, tightening of the stretched recti muscles and is often combined with liposuction for safe and superior results.
A tummy tuck is comparatively a bigger operation with more steps involved, treating the lax abdominal skin, excess fat as well as the stretched muscles in comparison to liposuction which addresses fat alone and can achieve only a certain amount of skin shrinkage.

The recovery time after liposuction can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s overall health. However, most patients can expect to return to their normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. During the first few days after liposuction, patients typically experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness in the treated area. Pain medication and/or anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed to help manage the discomfort.
Patients are also typically advised to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and improve the contour of the treated area(s). After the first week, most patients can resume light activities and return to work, although they should continue to avoid any strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for several weeks. By the end of the first month, most patients should see significant improvement in the appearance of the treated area, although it can take upto 3 months for the final results to fully develop.
