Should I have a myomectomy before or after lipo 360 for best results?

November 19, 2022
Asked By:plastics4ever in Denver, CO

I two large fibroids that are contributing to my abdominal girth and I have been approved for a myomectomy (non laparoscopic) meaning I will have a fairly wide scar above my pubic bone (approximately 4" from what my surgeon tells me). I also want to get circumferential liposuction. Is it ideal to have and be fully recovered from lipo before having a myomectomy? I have read about some patients getting a weird "pooch" above the pubic scar. Thank you.
