Can I get Tummy Tuck AND Lipo at same time?

Thanks for the question. Yes, you can get a liposuction and tummy tuck at the same time. You should meeting with a Board Certified Surgeon and planning the process. After planning, everything will be better. I wish you all the best.

It is common to perform tummy tucks with liposuction of the flanks. The lipo should not be performed in the area of blood supply to the abdominal flaps and that is likely what your friend was talking about.  Without an examination, it is difficult to comment further on precisely what you need and whether there would be any contraindications.

Most experienced plastic surgeons perform limited liposuction
of selective areas at the time of an abdominoplasty in the
appropriate patient. 

Keep in mind, that following the advice
from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do
based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the
tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and
discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure may not be in your
best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society
for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with.
You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
