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: Can I get lipo 8 months after tummy tuck? Thanks for your question. Paients usually have to wait around 6 months between these surgeries. At 8 months you should be ok to have liposuction. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Can I get lipo 8 months after tummy tuck? Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your tummy tuck procedure. At 8 months post op you may get liposuction. However, images and/or a personal examination is needed to confirm you are a surgical candidate. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Answer: Liposuction post Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it is impossible to give an accurate recommendation without an in person consultation. From your description, liposuction of this area might be an option, but I would recommend consulting with your original surgeon to discuss options to give you the best results. Best of luck to you!

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
