Can liposuction and tummy tuck be done at the same time?

Many plastic surgeons combine liposuction with their abdominoplasties. This is great to treat the hip area or "muffin top" as people call it. In addition, it can be used to thin out the fat of the upper abdomen that will be moved down in a tummy tuck. But this must be done with some caution so as not to create a problem with healing of the lower abdominal tummy tuck incision. Liposuction of any other area(like the arms, thighs, back) is safe to combine with a tummy tuck and is often performed. Hope this helps.

Yes liposuction cane be safely done at the same time as tummy tuck. In fact i do liposuction to all my tummy tuck operations to the flank to get better curves. Liposuction to other areas can also be done at the same time. The limiting factor is the total anaesthetic duration of the case . Please discuss with yiyr surgeon what areas of liposuction can be done in a safe way.

Most certainly a combination of liposuction and tummy tuck can be performed at the same time. Liposuction extracts the offending stubborn fat while a tummy tuck removes the extra skin of the abdomen. A combination of tummy tuck with liposuction 360 will give you a more defined hourglass shape. Schedule a consultation with a board-certified surgeon to go over your best treatment options and the different techniques that can be used to give you the desired results you want.
