Laporoscopy and Fat-reducing Procedure in One Surgery?

December 2, 2008
Asked By:Tina123 in 77479

I need to have an IUD removed (placed 2005) which has somehow gone through my uterus into the abdominal cavity. The doctor wants to perform a laporoscopy. Since I will be paying mostly out of my pocket and will be under anesthesia, I wanted to know, is it safe to have liposuction or any fat-reducing procedure/surgery done at the same time?
