HOW SURGICAL TUMMY TUCKS COMPARE TO NON-SURGICAL TUMMY TUCK ALTERNATIVES
ACHIEVE A FLATTER AND FIRMER ABDOMINAL AREA
Often slangily called a “stomach tuck” or “belly tuck,” a tummy tuck enhances the appearance of your midsection by addressing excess sagging skin, fat, and sometimes separated or weakened abdominal muscles. Patients often wonder whether it is possible to have what some refer to as a “non-surgical tummy tuck” in the Philadelphia and Villanova areas. Cross Medical Group can provide more advice about treatments that some people think of as non-surgical tummy tucks and how they compare to the standard surgical tummy tuck.
SURGICAL TUMMY TUCKS VS. NON-SURGICAL TUMMY TUCK ALTERNATIVES
People who would like to improve the appearance of their abdomen often wonder whether they can have a non-invasive tummy tuck or a less invasive or minimally invasive tummy tuck as an alternative to traditional tummy tuck surgery. For this reason, “non-surgical tummy tuck near me,” “non-surgical tummy tuck before and after,” “non-surgical tummy tuck cost,” and “best non-surgical tummy tuck” are some of the most frequently searched for abdominoplasty-related keyword phrases. Others might search more specifically for “non-surgical tummy tuck skin tightening” if loose skin is their primary concern.
There is really no such thing as a non-surgical tummy tuck but though technically not the same as a tummy tuck, there are procedures that can make the abdomen look slimmer and firmer without cosmetic surgery. Some people call these non-surgical body contouring options, “non-surgical tummy tucks” though they are not actually substitutes for cosmetic surgery.
SculpSure® from Cross Medical Group is a non-surgical laser system for body contouring that reduces resistant fat on the waist and flanks. There are some advantages, including the fact that no anesthesia is required, and there is no downtime or risks associated with surgery.
However, sometimes non-surgical body contouring is not enough. The results from non-surgical tummy tucks are more subtle compared to what can be achieved with plastic surgery. A surgical tummy tuck can not only remove a larger amount of fat compared to non-surgical body contouring treatments but also address loose skin and separated muscles.YOUR TUMMY TUCK CONSULTATION
Individuals who are seeking advice about what some refer to as non-surgical tummy tuck alternatives may benefit from learning more about traditional tummy tucks as well.
Patients who are interested in achieving a slimmer, more toned stomach may want to find out about aspects such as what to expect before and after a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck, how to find the best tummy tuck nearby, the average cost of a traditional tummy tuck and how it compares to the cost of a minimally invasive or non-surgical tummy tuck, whether when they have a tummy tuck, their belly button will be altered, and the benefits of a tummy tuck after a C section.
Although some information can be found online, it’s always best to meet with one of our plastic surgeons for an in-person consultation to get more advice about non-surgical tummy tuck options and how they compare to surgical tummy tucks or have other tummy tuck-related questions answered.
OTHER COSMETIC SURGERY OPTIONS
We offer a wide range of surgical options at Cross Medical Group to address each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals. Liposuction can enhance a patient’s body shape by reducing pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Gynecomastia surgery for male breast reduction restores a more masculine-looking torso for patients who are concerned about excess fat and tissue on the chest.
A Mommy Makeover is a customizable treatment that may typically involve combining a tummy tuck and breast lift surgery or combined tummy tuck and liposuction with another breast procedure, though almost any other procedure can be added, depending on the patient’s goals. This procedure helps to restore a patient’s pre-pregnancy body shape.
