Tummy Tuck Without Liposuction
Assuming that you have consulted with experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons, you should not be concerned when the surgeons concur on the recommended surgery. In fact, this should be comforting as surgeons frequently disagree on the best option for a patient. Continue to consult with one to two more experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons and choose the one that best understands your objectives and fits your needs.

Liposuction can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, but it doesn't HAVE to be done.
Liposuction can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, but it doesn't HAVE to be done. Each surgical procedure should be customized to meet the needs of the patient. If you do not need liposuction, then be grateful that your physicians are not selling you something that you don't need.

Tummy Tuck Without Liposuction?

Liposuction and tummy tuck
Your question is difficult to answer completely without photos or more information on what your goals are. Suffice it to say that if two plastic surgeons (board certified I hope) agree that you do not need liposuction, then you probably do not need liposuction.

Lipo With Tummy Tuck?
Sorry but it is impossible to answer your question without medical quality front, side, and back photos. But in general, I do many Tummy Tucks without liposuction. It depends on the patient.

Lipo with TT or not
Unfortunately, your question is too non-specific to answer. Were you referring to lipo of the flank.waist area, or the anterior abdomen? You haven't provided us any way to tell whether there is localized fat in either of those areas....perhaps you could post a photo?
