Tummy tucks and liposuction are great options for anyone looking for a more sculpted body, and aren’t just an option for celebrities.

Justin B. Heller of Heller Plastic Surgery in Santa Clarita adds, “There are men, women and even personal trainers who have good skin quality, but despite all efforts, can’t get rid of fat in their midsection.”

Liposuction is typically the ideal choice for patients who want to remove unwanted fat and add sculpting definition with minimal downtime.

Those with excess skin and loose muscle that needs attention will find that a tummy tuck is going to be your best bet to achieving your desired result, according to Heller.

Heller believes that in terms of liposuction, “It’s not just about what you take out, but what you leave behind,” and his process leaves patients looking rejuvenated and youthful.

A full tummy tuck sculpts the body in more than one way.

“When women are pregnant, the area between the muscles in the middle of the belly separates and expands permanently. It’s like letting out a dress in the area between the breasts and the hips. This leaves a boxy and unflattering shape. By restoring these muscles back to the middle, the hourglass curves and hips can be redefined,” Heller says, adding that the result is removed excess skin and stretch marks, and lifted thighs with reduced cellulite.

Those with a mild amount of unwanted fat in their midsection may want to consider a mini tummy tuck, according to Heller.

“It’s a smaller procedure that can be done through a minimal incision or endoscopically for those who only need a little help to get their bodies back where they want them to be,” he said.

Whether you decide to go with a mini or a full tummy tuck, Heller noted you’ll see stretch marks disappear and waistlines cinched.
