What is the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction?

Liposuction removes stubborn fat but does not tighten skin or repair muscles. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles. Many patients get the most complete result by combining both.

How much does a tummy tuck cost in Michigan?

Cost depends on how extensive the surgery is, the anesthesia, and whether procedures are combined. Dr. Qasawa gives you a detailed, personalized quote at your consultation, along with information on financing options.

When can I have a mommy makeover after having children?

Most surgeons suggest waiting until you are done having children and are several months past breastfeeding, at a stable weight. That protects both your health and how long your results last.

Is liposuction permanent?

Yes. The fat cells removed during liposuction do not come back. Keeping a stable weight preserves your results, since the fat cells that remain elsewhere can still grow with weight gain.
