Liposuction and tummy tuck being done in two steps - which procedure should I have done first? (photos)

January 17, 2023
Asked By:Aquar78

MLocal board certified plastic surgeon will not do any lipo during my full tt procedure. My concerns include the current extra fat along my sides/flanks, as well as the extra fat and skin on my abdomen that Dr says will be removed during tt surgery. I’ll have to have two separate procedures. My question is should I have the liposuction of my flanks completed before the full tummy tuck procedure? Or should I have the liposuction of my flanks done after the full tummy tuck procedure?
