Body contouring is a popular choice at The Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery in Portland. Liposuction and tummy tuck are two of the most popular choices, as they provide significant results that can immediately slim down a person’s silhouette. Patients frequently have questions about one or both procedures, wondering what they have in common and what sets them apart.

With a focus on patient education, The Waldorf Center is always aiming to equip men and women seeking an aesthetic change with the knowledge they need to choose the procedure, treatment, or combination of options that will best help them on their journey of personal transformation. Read on to learn more about the fat-reducing effects of liposuction, the tissue-tightening impact of a tuck, and the combined power of both.
The Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery in Portland offers liposuction, tummy tucks, and a variety of other body contouring procedures. Call 503-646-0101 or 1-800-310-7901 to find out more today, or schedule a visit online.
Liposuction is strictly a fat-reduction procedure. It does not correct muscle laxity or loose skin present before or after the surgery. For this reason, lipo is recommended for patients who are already near their ideal weight and those who have healthy skin that can conform to the new, slimmer contours.
Patients who are likely to find themselves with sagging, excess skin after their liposuction procedure may also want to consider a skin-tightening surgery. Everything from a facelift to a thigh lift is available. Loose skin removed from the abdomen is most often done so as part of a more comprehensive procedure known as an abdominoplasty—but more commonly called a tummy tuck.
THREE TALENTED DOCTORS
ONE FOCUSED MISSION
The experienced surgeons at The Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery—Dr. Kathleen Waldorf, Dr. Rachel Streu and Dr. Heidi Johng—built the practice on a foundation of providing patients with high quality, ethical care. One of their guiding principles is a belief that cosmetic surgery is as much an art as it is a science.

PORTLAND TUMMY TUCK
A tummy tuck is not intended to be a fat-removal surgery, but it may include some liposuction to help achieve natural-looking, slim contours. This is a smaller amount of fat than lipo alone would remove.
Since the main focus of abdominoplasty is removing loose skin, it can involve eliminating just the excess found below the navel or a larger amount spanning the entire abdomen. The surgery also frequently includes the doctor tightening abdominal muscles and supportive tissues that have been stretched out by large fat cells.
While abdominoplasty can further enhance the results of liposuction, it is often employed to counter the sagging aftereffects of massive weight loss due to medical intervention, surgery, or simple diet and exercise. It can also help new mothers restore the contours of their pre-birth bodies by repairing the muscles stretched out by a growing baby.*

LIPOSUCTION AND ABDOMINOPLASTY
The doctors at The Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery in Portland always work with each patient with an ultimate look in mind. At your consultation, they will recommend whether liposuction, a tuck, or a combination of the two will best yield the desired results, depending on the amount of fat, muscle laxity, and loose skin involved.
Get the truth behind four myths about liposuction from Portland’s Waldorf Center. Surgical fat reduction is not for weight loss, but can be used to create long-lasting slimmer contours all over the body—especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and pair the procedure with lifts or tucks as needed.
Liposuction, tummy tuck, and more are available. Call 503-646-0101 or 1-800-310-7901 to learn more, or schedule a consultation online.
