What is a Lipotuck procedure?

"lipotuck" is a term coined by a local plastic surgeon in Houston that describes liposuction combined with a tummy tuck.  (genius bit of marketing, kudos to the doctor).  In truth, most plastic surgeons perform tummy tucks in combination with liposuction.  Good luck and be safe.John T.

Lipotuck is just a brand name for a tummy tuck that involves liposuction, something that I already do quite often for suitable patients. Liposuction is used to eliminate unwanted fat deposits in areas where a tummy tuck alone may not suffice, such as the love handles, abdomen, and hips. Doing this gives you better results and may also achieve a shorter recovery period. This is because the alternate (fat removal by excision) would be more invasive.   Ask any plastic surgeon if they can also perform a tummy tuck and liposuction at the same time. They may not call it a "Lipotuck", but it's pretty much the same thing.

a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction
procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can
deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
