Based in Staten Island, New York, Keith S. Berman, MD, is an award-winning plastic surgeon offering a full range of procedures designed to rejuvenate the body and improve facial aesthetics. Dr. Keith Berman also provides liposuction procedures. Liposuction has proven to be effective in removing small fat deposits in the stomach, thighs, hips, and buttocks. In comparison, tummy tucks involve the elimination of excess stretched skin associated with rapid weight shifts and pregnancy. Tummy tucks can also create a contoured, flat midsection by bringing the rectus abdominis muscles back together. Both liposuction and tummy tucks involve incisions and anesthesia, while tummy tucks create a strong, stable abdominal wall that will not experience a return of excess skin unless the area is re-stretched by pregnancy or weight gain. It is important to note that both procedures are not recommended as a weight loss strategy for people who are obese. Liposuction typically results in weight loss of between two to five pounds. Ideal candidates are those within 30 percent of the healthy range of weight, with the focus on addressing localized fat pockets.
