Why won't some doctors perform liposuction with abdominoplasty?

Question

Although many doctors seem to do both tummy tuck along with Lipo, I also see many doctors will not do both procedures together. What is the reason some doctors won't?

hank you for your question.

commonly it is the best to combine twp procedures for best results, the suggestions you get from your doctor are optional comparing with what you got in mind. all doctors have different points of view.

best of luck.

Jordan P. Farkas, MD · Answer

Great question. There are reports in the plastic surgery literature that adding liposuction to an abdominoplasty can increase the risk of complications like blood clots. Because these procedures are cosmetic some plastic surgeons do not feel it is appropriate to do these combination surgeries for patient safety.
