Would like to have a tummy tuck. The doctor I consulted with said a TT would be a good option. This surgeon does not do lipo of abdomen, only sides during procedure. Will I have an unfavorable result??

Answer: Tummy tuck You appear to be a great candidate for the tummy tuck with liposuction of the sides for contouring. Liposuction of the upper abdomen is not typically done in conjunction with a tummy tuck due to healing/blood supply concerns. However the tummy tuck will address the entire abdomen including the fat above the belly button that concerns you.

Answer: Fat above belly button, will I have a unfavourable results with TT & lipo on sides only? (Photo) I think you would obtain a very nice result without liposuction in the upper abdomen. You don't have a significant amount of excess fat there and once the tummy tuck is performed, you should obtain a nice result with less risk. Liposuction can increase the risk of problems as a result and always best to do the least that you need to do to get the result that you want. Best wishes.
