Do surgeons include liposuction with a full abdominoplasty? I have a fairly large pannus from 2 c-sections and significant weight gain (large babies 9 lbs 11 oz and 8lbs 11 oz). I would like to have a procedure that could take care of the entire abdomen and flank area, if possible.
Answer: Combining Abdominoplasty with Liposuction for a Large Pannus is an Option, but Liposuction May Not Be Included in the Price Thank you for your question regarding abdominoplasty with liposuction for a large pannus. Many surgeons do combine liposuction with a full abdominoplasty to provide more comprehensive contouring. A full abdominoplasty removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, which is especially beneficial after significant weight gain and pregnancies like yours. Adding liposuction can further enhance the results by removing stubborn fat from the abdomen and flanks, giving you a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Answer: Abdominoplasty and Liposuction I have discussed this in an article on my website. It is safe to an extent. But you must remember that alot of the pannus is excised and discarded so this may not be an issue.

Answer: Tummy tucks and liposuction at the same time These can be done together depending on your age, health, body mass index, etc. In my practice, I always do liposuction with a tummy tuck. Although one can divide the torso into multiple cosmetic units, I like to treat this as one cosmetic unit. This way you achieve the best results all the way around including the flanks, buttocks,back and abdomen. The pannus is excised and does not need to be liposuctioned. The upper abdomen can be liposuctioned judiciously to preserve the blood supply. If a person has a large upper abdominal roll, I tell them that although they will get improvement with the liposuction and abdominoplasty, there's the possibility off further liposuction of the abdomen to refine the results. Since most of the patients I see in my practice require liposuction, my fees are all inclusive.

Answer: Liposuction and Adbodminpolasty If you include a picture, we may be able to give you more specific advice. However, I include minor liposuction of flanks (at no additional charge) on about 90% of the abdominoplasties that I perform. I feel that it gives you a much better overall result. If you need major liposuction, that that is a whole different story and I would need to see you in consultation to determine which procedures would be best for you. I hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your procedure.

Answer: Price of liposuction and tummy tuck Surgeons may or may not include this in the price of their tummy tuck procedure. Please realize that not all tummy tucks are the same; some are mini, some are full, some are extended, and some are combinations, etc. Many surgeons will ultimately price the procedure according to the time they think it will take them. Although, you may not want your surgeon to rush through the procedure. So shopping around for price may not be the best indication.
