Is it safe to have lipo and tummy tuck after having back surgery?

Thank you for your question. I recommend waiting until you regain some feeling in your leg. It's better for that to heal first. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon to address the possible complications and risks. When considering plastic surgery: 1. Begin with a board certified
plastic surgeon and visit several offices
2. Seek a surgeon who does at least 100 of these procedures per year
3. Internet discussions do not replace the advice of your physician

Full recovery from most surgeries is complete at a year's time. Certain procedures can take even longer. If you are over a year out from your back surgery and there are no contraindications, I don't see why you should not be able to move forward and have a tummy tuck and liposuction.Recovery from a tummy tuck can be pretty intense if the muscles are tightened. Some patients find it hard to stand up straight for the first few weeks. Patients with back issues can have a harder time recovering from a tummy tuck.Hope that helps.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
