Abdominal Lipo AFTER a Tummy Tuck?

I can't comment too much without the opportunity of looking at photos. Many surgeons feel the risks of doing liposuction in the same area as open surgery for a TT outweigh the benefits.  The TT wipes out a lot of blood supply needed for wound healing, and the liposuction takes out more, and there certainly are some patients who have had bad outcomes with this combo. 

Now that you incisions have healed, it is quite likely that doing liposuction would not present a significant hazard.

Thank you  for your question, all the best.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.  Liposuction during a tummy tuck procedure is still somewhat debated among plastic surgeons although much less than before.  The idea is that liposuction hurts some of the vessels that will help with tummy tuck healing.  I have not seen this with my tummy tucks and continue to perform liposuction with just about every single one of my tummy tucks.  If the fear of blood supply prevents liposuction during a tummy tuck the same should not be the case before or after the tummy tuck procedure.  At this stage you can receive liposuction of the tummy tuck and surrounding areas without concern.

All the best,
