Does the tumescent technique of liposuction generally help individuals who would have needed a tummy tuck?
I hear that because the cannulas are so small in size, that it helps your skin re-drape to your new contours much better. so can the tumescent technique prevent the need for a tummy tuck?
No, because if you have large amounts of excess skin and slack muscle, no amount of liposuction, regardless of the technique will take care of that.
If on the other hand, you just had excess fat to remove, but maybe your skin elasticity wasn’t 100%, then tumescent liposuction might work well.
But for the most part, liposuction is definitely not an alternative to a tummy tuck.
