Annapolis, MD (PRWEB) December 08, 2011

Dr. Marcia Ormsby is an avid blogger and plastic surgeon in Maryland. She recently posted an in-depth comparison of two body contouring procedures to her blog, in an effort to provide patients with a better understanding of when they should consider liposuction or liposculpture, and when a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty would be a better fit for her patients cosmetic enhancement goals.

When liposuction is being considered, Dr. Ormsby says the skin of the abdomen must be healthy with good elasticity. When stretch marks are prevalent, there is indication that the skin is badly damaged. It will not contract and respond favorably to liposuction alone. However, she adds that when the skin is healthy, aesthetic enhancement results can be very satisfying and spare patients the recovery and downtime of a more invasive procedure such as the tummy tuck.

A number of Dr. Ormsbys patients that consider a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty are women hoping to address the effects of pregnancy on the body. She says this is due to the stretching of the abdominal wall through pregnancy, which negatively impacts the musculature and affects its ability to support the internal structures and causes a protuberance to appear. However, Dr. Ormsby says the patient can often benefit from muscle repair by permanently attaching the two central muscles in the abdomen, which causes a flattening of the belly and a reduction in waist circumference. Once the muscles are repaired, the excess skin is removed resulting in a permanent, toned, contoured figure.

While both procedures are capable of creating a slimmer, more contoured body, Dr. Ormsby says diet and exercise are necessary components to the continued success and slimmer physique initially created through liposuction or abdominoplasty. She adds that following a good diet and exercise program before the procedure and six weeks after will often prove very helpful. The better toned the muscle, the more favorable the repair. The best results are found in the person who is fit and properly nourished prior to surgery. For those patients, Dr. Ormsby says cosmetic enhancement results should last a lifetime.
