    Default Best Lift and Tummy Tuck / Lipo and brest augmen.

    What is the difference between these 2 things? How bad is the scaring for a brest lift and tummy tuck?


    is lipo and brest augmentation better, as far as scars go? any one know of a good before and after web site with pictures?


    I wanted to try and stay as natural looking as possible, and dont need bigger boobs, I like my boob size... a perfect C cup.


    But I just want them to be lifted up.


    and a tummy tuck because, I dont believe I have much of any fat on my tummy.... I think it is mostly just loose skin from pregnecy.... funny thing is, I have no strech marks. just skin.

    I don't know much about tummy tucks, but I have heard of plastic surgeons who do scareless tummy tucks. Not sure what that looks like, but if I find any pics i'll post them.

    IMO, for loose skin...I think you should consider body contouring. They lipo certain areas & cut off the extra skin.

    "Scarless" tummy tucks are just done through the navel so the scar is in the navel.

    Breast lift produces more scars than breast augmentation. Breast lift doesn't add size but in some cases augmentation can give the illusion of lift along with added fullness. There are two kinds of breast lift - "anchor" and "binelli". Anchor makes a scar around the aereola, down the middle of the bottom of the breast, and in the breast crease in an anchor shape - that's used for severely sagging breasts. Binelli lift only scars around the aereola and is used to correct less severe sagging.

    You can actually lose size with just a lift. They cut away excess skin in order to move the nipple up to where it belongs. If you've lost volume through age or pregnancy, a lift only could leave with nice perky breasts that aren't quite C cups anymore. For this reason many docs will do an augmentation (small implants) with a lift to bring the breasts back to what they were.

    It's best to do your research and talk to some docs about what they recommend for you. Not just one, but several.



    These are some good places to start, lots of info on both sites. There will be links to info about tummy tuck, lipo and body contouring as well.

    i thought a tummy tuck was better for loose skin?

    I guess if you dont have too much loose skin and fat.. try lipo first.. Or actually your best bet is to see a plastic surgeon and see what he thinks. Go for a free consult

    My mom thought she would need a tt, but instead tried lipo first, and her skin went right back where it should have been. I think/heard that a tummy tuck hurts more then lipo. Also, the more cc's they take out generally the more pain you will endure.

    As far as a breast lift, i would think that it hurts a little less then a ba. If you are happy with your c, i think you should stay there and do a lift.

    Another thing, as far as pain. Each procedure is going to hurt. It depends on the person though. Some people have much more pain, some have less. For example my deviated septum/rhino hurt more then my under the muscle ba. I was told it would hurt much less.

    if they tell you there's a scar less tummy tuck they might be talking about a mini tummy tuck with liposuction...Never heard of a scarless. tummy tucks are to get rid of lose abdominal skin so there has to be an incision. The more skin you have usually the bigger the scar, hence why some people's scar goes to their back torso. When you have a tummy tuck they make the incision above the mons pubis then make the other incision where the new skin will meet with the mons pubis. Before putting the two pieces together the doc makes a new belly button and surgically tightens the stomach muscles then closes up. A tummy tuck hurts like nothing you ever felt, I had a tummy tuck after i had my last child. I had to wear the waist thing for 8 weeks so I wouldn't not get dog ears (skin bunched upo on the sides). the scarring depends on your skin condition and how you scar. I heal pretty well so my scar faded a little and after a year i had laser scar revision on it. Liposuction compared to a Tummy Tuck is a breeze. With the tummy tuck you have to wear the I've also had a breast lift with implants the certain incision will depend on how droppy your breast is... some women need a full anchor some need just the nipple.. it depends on what your surgeon thinks. Again pain full procedure because they are cutting skin and tissue.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.
