This procedure requires your body to expel the fat naturally, which is a much slower process.Results may be seen within four weeks but the real results will not be visible until three to four months later. Another factor to consider is the number of treatments required to see results.

TUMMY TUCK

The BudgetA tummy tuck is the most invasive procedure, which is reflected in both the cost and recovery time. After a tummy tuck, you may need up to three weeks of recovery time.The process can run close to $7,500 on average.A tummy tuck procedure often causes post-operative swelling and may a discomfort when you first get back on your feet.

Time Frame & ResultsUnderstandably, tummy tucks have the most dramatic results possible. The total result can be seen right away, after only one surgery.

Your BodyYour health is a major factor as well. If your body is sensitive to surgeries or cannot have anesthesia, some of these procedures may not be a viable option for you. Also, with the bed rest and possible swelling, make sure to consider the impact of physical stress and recovery time.
