I asked my PS to do lipo of my back, hips, flanks. He is doing a full TT and BA. He said he will only lipo 1000cc on my hips. He will not do any more due to co morbidity rates. Is this common? I really wanted more lipo.
I agree with the above. However, I would not necessarily limit this to 1000 cc. Generally, we want the outpatient operations to stay under six hours and less than 5000 cc of lipo. Your physician is correct to lower the 5000 limit in a prolonged surgery. However, I would think that 1000 could be more depending on your health, etc. It's truly a judgement call that places your safety first.
I've had 3 kids and definitely need some help in my stomach area, but I'm not sure if I would need liposuction, a tummy tuck, or both to get the pre-baby look I want.
To determine which option would benefit you the most an examination is needed. However, a general rule would be that if there is excess skin or stretch marks then a tummy tuck is better. Otherwise, a small collection of extra fat may be best approached with liposuction only.
Typical post-pregnancy patients will benefit from a combination of the two procedures. I wish you the best in your abdominal rejuvenation.
