I am 18 months post op ftom a tummy tuck. The fat in my upper abdomen was not liposuctioned at the time of my tummy tuck. The fat that I now have in this area feels thick / tough to the point of not being able to pinch it it or tug on in it unless I am in a seated position where it then becomes easier to grasp or pull on. I am wondering will it be difficult to lipo in that area being that it doesn't feel soft when standing upright. Thanks.

Answer: Liposuction From the photos you supplied, it looks like you could benefit from some contouring liposuction to further improve your figure.

Answer: Liposuction after tummy tuck Thank you for your question. The thick or tough fat most likely is a combination of fat and scar tissue from your prior abdominoplasty which is normal. You are correct, it will make liposuction more difficult but more importantly post op care will be key to preventing that scar tissue from returning. I would recommend using smartlipo or power assisted liposuction for your procedure and post op care which includes ultrasound and lymphatic drainage to achieve your best results. This will help to break up scar tissue during the procedure and help to prevent it from returning post op.
