Answer: Second round of Liposuction Thank you for your question. Sometimes is normal because with the tummy tuck is not recommend to perform intense liposuction on the belly area to avoid any scar tension. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Answer: Abdomen Although your clothing hides some of your results, you do appear to have gotten good results. Liposuction could be done to help remove some excess fat, especially in the flank area. An examination is needed to be sure. Go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns and options.

Answer: Swelling? Wow! Your results are so nice! If you are noticing changes then there still can be residual swelling contributing to the look. There may also be underlying fatty tissue that can be addressed with liposuction. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon who is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.

Answer: Tummy tuck Thank you for the question. Additional liposuction several months following tummy tuck, as in most patients, will provide additional contouring because your surgeon can thin you down without fear of compromising the blood supply to the TT skin flaps (which is a restriction during every TT). Nonetheless, your result is great and your tummy tuck was a success. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.
