The Power of Two: Liposuction with Abdominoplasty Offers Added Satisfaction

According to research in the April issue of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal, patient outcomes are especially good with liposuction plus abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Conducted by Dr. Eric Swanson, a Kansas plastic surgeon, the study looked at 360 patients undergoing liposuction and/or abdominoplasty to remove abdominal fat. Of those patients, about 35 percent underwent a combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty, while 60 percent had only liposuction, and the rest had just a tummy tuck.

What the Research Found

Dr. Swanson concluded that patients who undergo cosmetic liposuction or abdominoplasty procedures experience significant improvements in self-esteem and quality of life. The study also indicated that liposuction with abdominoplasty produced the highest levels of satisfaction without an increase in pain compared to a tummy tuck by itself. Individuals who had only liposuction or just a tummy tuck rated their levels of satisfaction at 80 to 90 percent, compared with 99 percent for the combination procedure.
