Is abdominal liposuction safer than a tummy tuck?

"Some evidence suggests the Liposuction is safer than tummy tucks, especially because the incision is so much smaller. Additionally liposuction can be done in some cases with only local anesthesia. However, both procedures have risks. If you are determined to have it done, look for a board-certified surgeon and check to make sure they have no history of frequent complaints."
