Be certain that you need to have liposuction in addition to a mommy makeover at the time of separate settings. You may be wasting some money. I personally would have you wait several months if the abdomen was suctioned. If not the procedure could be done immediately.
After liposuction we make the patients wait 6 months before proceeding with tummy tuck. If you do not have your abdomen suctioned then you could have your tummy tuck performed earlier. Since Sononbello only performs awake liposuction they will not be able to provide you with the Mommy Makeover. Whomever you choose to perform the Mommy Makeover however does liposuction. Instead of going to Sononbello, why don't you go to the plastic surgeon that is going to perform you abdominoplasty. This way the operations can be staged appropriately. You will get better followup and continuity of care.
Depending upon where you had liposuction will depend upon how long you need to wait. If your liposuction was on your abdomen, and you wish a tummy tuck, you need to wait at least 6 months. If your liposuction was on an area that will not be involved with your make over, then you might be able to proceed as early as 3 months. Please discuss this with your surgeon and he/she will decide when it is best to proceed with more surgery.
If everything is healing nicely, I would want patients to wait at least 3 months but more preferably 6 months after liposuction of the front of the abdomen before preforming a tummy tuck. Obviously this doesn't apply if the sonobello liposuction is being done to areas other than the stomach like the legs or arms. In that case, a tummy tuck and breast surgery (mommy makeover) could be done much sooner as they are in two different areas. If you are contemplating doing liposuction of your abdomen and then doing a mommy makeover soon thereafter, I would ask you to reconsider your plans. A mommy makeover with a tummy tuck will greatly improve your abdomen and will typically include liposuction so you will potentially be wasting your time and money doing any liposuction first when you plan to immediately follow it with a mommy makeover.
Thank you for your question. If it is to belly usually I recommend to wait 6 months. Mommy make over includes different procedures depending on the goals of the patient. I am not sure what you are planning. Please consult a board certified PS for evaluation. You may get lipo also same time if it feasible.
Thank you for your question. I would generally suggest at least 6 months between lipo and then tummy tuck. It depends a bit on which areas exactly were treated, but the big concern is blood supply to the incision edges of a tummy tuck. The liposuction will temporarily disrupt that circulation, and that is the reason for the delay. I would meet w/ a local plastic surgeon that you trust who does abdominoplasty. I am not sure if a center like Sonobello does that procedure or not? Best wishes.
It depends on which areas had liposuction. If you had lipo of the abdomen, it would be best to wait 6 months to allow the tissue to heal and scar to soften before doing a tummy tuck. If you did not yet have your Sonobello lipo, consider seeing a Board Certified plastic surgeon elsewhere first. It is not common that you need to have lipo BEFORE a mommy makeover.
