Had a full tummy tuck 8 months ago. I have been getting some surgeries this past year to keep my figure as I’m approaching my 50’s. I know metabolism slows down dramatically & I want to stay ahead of it. There’s only so much exercise a person can do. So I had a tummy tuck June, 2018, very pleased. My upper tummy is getting flabby & a little bulge. Can I have lipo on that area considering I already had a tummy tuck?

Answer: Liposuction after tummy tuck While it is possible, if your weight is going up, it might be better to start with a medical evaluation to find out why your weight is going up. It may be that some minor changes in your diet would help especially if you are already exercising. Your metabolism can be changed by many processes. I would suggest starting there and if everything checks out, then go see a board certified plastic surgeon that performs liposuction and tummy tucks so a full evaluation can be done and make sure it is safe and the procedure can deliver what it is your are trying to achieve. It may be that you are a candidate for a different procedure. Good luck and don't get discouraged, sometimes it is easier than you think to make the change

Answer: Liposuction after Tummy Tuck Hi Thank you for the question. I think it is really important to have a personal consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to say if you would be a candidate for more abdominal liposuction. In general, it is possible. I always recommend my patients to wait at least 6 months after surgery to treat the same area again with liposuction. Kindly Dr Marco Carmona MD
