Tummy tuck and chin lipo on the same day?

Question

Hi all. I have my surgical consult on March tenth. I'm definitely getting a tummy tuck, provided I'm a good candidate. Do you often perform a TT and chin Lipo on the same day? I do not want to take more time off from work as I don't earn vacation or sick leave very quickly and feel I can rest and recover from both if allowed. 42 y/o, 160 lbs, 5'4, 2 kids (1c sect 1 vaginal) sooooo ready!

Thank you for your question.  Doing chin lipo at the same time as your TT is no big deal.  It's the perfect time to do it since you will be taking time off to recover from the TT.Good Luck.

Dear tkyzrIt is not only reasonable but also wise to performed combined procedures as lone as safety and recovery is well considered. In outpatient surgery as long as your operative time is approximately 5 hours or less, you are having safe surgery as far as time goes. Combining neck liposuction with abdominoplasty is safe and routinely performed. Look for an expereinced and properly trained plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. see more than one consult and make a well informed decision.

It's best to address this question with your surgeon, but I see no reason that chin liposuction could not be combined with a tummy tuck.

Hello and thank-you for your question!I feel that adding liposuction of the chin to a tummy tuck can be done safely.  It should not add any more time to your recovery.Best of Luck.Andrew Lyos, MD, FACS

Yes, those procedures (and others) are commonly performed together.  That would not be unusual.  I'd advise you to see a board certified plastic surgeon.

I usually do chin lipo in the office with a local anesthetic.  It is a simple procedure with minimal recovery, so yes it is no problem to do that with a tummy tuck.  In fact I think I am doing that procedure tomorrow.  Good luck. Jane

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

are routine with my practice.  And what you ask for should be minimal but with liposuction of the chin, you will probably need to wear some kind of external support for the first 1-2 weeks.  With a tummy tuck, you should be wearing compression for at least 3+ weeks, depending on whether your muscles were plicated or not.  Most surgeons will discount the second procedure so you should know exactly what it will add on to your costs.

Richard J. Wassermann, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for reaching out. To pair a tummy tuck and liposuction of your chin or submental area is a very common pairing. Given the fact that you are healthy with no health complications or issues, it's a wise decision to combine the two procedures and only recover one time. Consult your specific surgeon for the details of the liposuction recovery, but compared to the tummy portion, it should not be anything too much to handle. Best Wishes on a great outcome.
