The last two years have undoubtedly taken their toll on more than a few of us. It has most likely taken its toll in several ways for many of us. Now that we’ve made it through 2021 and are probably looking ahead to the following twelve months with cautious optimism, some may feel it’s time to start focusing a bit more attention and energy on themselves.

Many people train hard at the gym and eat a healthy diet to obtain what they consider to be a more appealing stomach. The sad reality is that many of those individuals fail to accomplish their ideal of a flatter stomach, no matter how much effort they put in or how many calories they calculate.

If you’re targeting a slim and toned physique this coming year, then it might be time to look into the cosmetic surgeries and body treatments that are available to you to help you achieve this, namely a tummy tuck South Africa.

It should be mentioned, that establishing your diet and exercise routine to reduce your weight to a healthier level is critical before considering surgery. If you’ve done this and your surgeon is satisfied that you’re healthy and at a good weight, you may start weighing the benefits and drawbacks of cosmetic surgery to see if it’s the right choice for you.

A tummy tuck Cape Town is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for achieving a slimmer and tighter stomach. The procedure eliminates extra fat and skin from the abdomen and helps to restore damaged or separated muscles, making it a popular choice for women post-pregnancy and for both men and women who have lost a large amount of weight.

Though a tummy tuck can assist with both fat and skin reduction, it’s most suited for patients who want to eliminate extra sagging skin. If you have a lot of excess fat, your cosmetic surgeon would most likely recommend liposuction South Africa.

The main differences between a tummy tuck and liposuction:

  • The cost of a tummy tuck procedure is more expensive than the liposuction cost South Africa, as it is a more extensive cosmetic surgery.
  • Liposuction is an easier and more straightforward procedure that merely removes fat, but a tummy tuck entails many stages to tone and tighten the stomach.
  • Liposuction leaves very little scarring, whereas a tummy tuck will leave some scarring – although scars do fade with time and the option of a scar revision procedure can help achieve the best cosmetic result, they will still be permanent.
  • Tummy tucks address loose skin, fat cell removal, and the strengthening of weakening abdominal muscles. Liposuction, on the other hand, is just concerned with the removal of fat cells.

Since each cosmetic procedure is unique to the individual, deciding whether to get liposuction or a tummy tuck will be determined by your circumstances and the goal you want to achieve. If you only aim to remove stubborn fat and are happy with your skin tightness and overall muscle tone in the abdominal area, you may only require liposuction. If you have a mix of loose, drooping skin, stretch marks, excess fat, and weak abdominal muscles, a tummy tuck – or perhaps a combination of the two – may be the better option.
