Hello Dr. I am 43 years old and mother of 4. I have a big scar in my lower belly and big thighs and hips. Lately I am considering doing Liposuction and tummy Tuck. Do you think is a good idea? Thank you for your advice. Betty

Answer: Tummy tuck and liposuction A tummy tuck can be done and liposuction can also be done but not in or near the area of the tummy tuck. If you want your thighs, flanks or back done then that can be done simultaneous to the tummy tuck. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Lipoabdominoplasty! Hello! Yes, you absolutely can! The procedure is called a lipoabdominoplasty and many surgeons combine liposuction 360 (+/- BBL) w/ a tummy tuck procedure. You just need a skilled surgeon who is used to combining these procedures safely to help reduce any chances of complications. The only portion where the surgeon may not be as aggressive to liposuction would be the area just above the belly button. Otherwise, combining the procedures would surely give you the best shape from your tummy tuck procedure. Good luck!
