Theres alot of fat on my upper abdomen that needs to be removed. I heard its not safe to do trunk lipo with a tummy tuck or the skin might die. should i break the surgery up into 2 parts, having breasts and lipo done on upper abs.. then wait for a few months and go in and have tummy tuck and lipo thru my hips and flanks. How long should I wait... and also is that the order I should do it in? age 52 - height 5-9 - weight 208
Answer: I want a tummy tuck with lipo on my waist and flanks, and breast lift with implants. You could have the liposuction prior to the tummy tuck if you want a great deal of fat liposuctioned from the upper abdomen.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA..........

CONTACT NOW Answer: Multiple Procedures Including a Breast Lift The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. #MummyTummy is a term given to modified tummy tucks which can use liposuction and skin tightening with radiofrequency such Vanquish, Vela3, thermage, thermiRF and others. The actual fat contouring can be done non-surgically as well with #UltraShape or Cool-Sculpting. #Combined operations are often performed with our #Gynecology colleagues. Tubal ligation is a common post pregnancy procedure which is done at the time of many of the surgeries included with a #MommyMakeover. If you require a gynecologic operation or study (laparoscopy) and are considering a plastic surgery procedure, discuss these issues with your physician and board-certified plastic surgeon. Also, combining these #procedures may decrease anesthetics, costs, and recovery time. Now, the intentional result of a Breast Lift (#Mastopexy) is to improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. It is used especially for breasts which sag or droop (#ptosis) as a result of aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. However, many women report more satisfaction if an implant is used at the time of #mastopexy. The implants further shape their breasts, restoring superior fullness or volume which may be decreased over time.In regards to implants alone, this is usually said to be mistake by patients reflecting back at the decision. Most breasts will look larger and more droopy with solely implants. They will sag more and sooner, due to the sudden and excess weight. At times it's possible for a “Snoopy” breast or double bubble to develop as a result.Always talk to a Plastic Surgeon to discuss your issues and concerns. Information that you read online may not apply to your situation. Be sure your surgeon is boarded by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.

Answer: And abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen. Very few patients to have and abdominoplasty require subsequent liposuction. I think you would do fine with a mommy makeover including mastopexy liposuction of the waist and an abdominoplasty. I personally do not suction the flaps elevated for and abdominoplasty for the safety reasons you suggest. Nevertheless, subsequent liposuction of the abdomen is seldom necessary.

Answer: Timing of breast and body work Hi. There very first thing would recommend is that you lose some weight first because according to your height and weight and pictures you are considered overweight and thus are at greater risk for blood clots to your legs that could travel to your heart and lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. Your increase age and lengthy duration of your surgery would also add to your surgical risks for DVT and Pulmonary Embolism. You will get much better results if you are more within your ideal body weight and your recovery will be much easier. If you lose more weight, there will also be less fat for you to have to worry about removing with liposuction and thus you will not have to worry about splitting up the liposuction and tummy tuck. With less fat to have to remove a lot of surgeons are able do some liposuction safely along with the tummy tuck so it does not have to be staged, if the total duration of the procedure is not too lengthy. I think that you have enough volume to your breasts to start with. A lift alone would improve the shape enough that I think you would be happy. I don't think implants for your case are necessary. If you can avoid implants then you do not have to deal with the risks of implants and since the procedures won't require as much time to do it may be possible to do it in one setting.I would recommend consulting with several experienced board certified plastic surgeons to get their opinion prior to making a decision.Best wishes.
