I would like to know how long should I wait to have a tummy tuck after having had liposuction. What is a safe time lapse.
Answer: Tummy tuck after liposuction Hello, I think you will find that surgeons' recommendations vary depending on their preferences and experience. I suggest my patients wait at least 4-6 months before having a second operation because usually by this point most of the tissue swelling has resolved and I have a better sense of the baseline shape before doing another operation.

Answer: Timeframe for tummy tuck and liposuction I am assuming from your picture that you have not had either procedure done yet. Personally, I think you will see more benefit from having a tummy tuck or lipoabdominoplasty which combines lips of the upper abdomen with skin excision as the first procedure. This may give you all the results you want in one surgery. I don't think that you will see much difference with liposuction alone and you will definitely require two procedures if you go this route because of the loose skin that you will have after lipo.

Answer: How long should I wait to have a tummy tuck after liposuction? If you are having liposuction performed before a tummy tuck, I would recommend waiting at least 5-6 months to allow your tissues to heal and for swelling to completely resolve. I also recommend seeing a Board Certified Plastic surgeon to assure that your procedures are safely spaced and/or combined. Good Luck!

Answer: How long should I wait to have a tummy tuck after liposuction? Thank you for your question and photograph. Depending on your desired locations of liposuction, both procedures can be safely done simultaneously to avoid multiple trips to the operating room, recoveries, and time off of work. If you do need to separate the procedures, timing would depend on the recovery of your body after liposuction. If you are not performing liposuction in the areas involved in a tummy tuck, it may be as short as a month after surgery, but if you are considering liposuction in an area of an eventual tummy tuck, best to wait until the tissues have returned to normal, without any swelling or firmness, before proceeding with additional surgery.
