Does liposuction of fat from the sides interfere with blood flow to the lower abdomen? (photos)

May 6, 2015
Asked By:MonarchButterfly64 in Florida, FL

I consulted with two surgeons. The first wanted to do two operations, one for tuck and the other for liposuction of sides His said risk of skin death if one operation. His charge for both was $8,000. The second Dr. said one operation for both, operation risks outweighed skin death, and her charge was $8,000. I am headed for a third opinion. I'm early 40s, 2 pregnancies, competitive figure skater on ice about 5 hours a week, no health issues but high cholesterol which lower using statin.
