Hi I am a bigger lady but I am pretty happy with my size at 5”7, 200 lbs. I am getting a tummy tuck to get rid of some stretch marks and extra skin on my belly. Wondering if in general it’s better to get lipo first?

Answer: Tummy tuck then lipo I typically would do an abdominoplasty first followed by liposuction as a touch up if needed. It often is not. I think that if you do liposuction first you will more than likely still need a tummy tuck. Although it is not a good idea to combine excessive lipo suction a small amount can be done at the same time as a tummy tuck

Answer: Is it better to get lipo first before my tummy tuck? Thanks for your question. It is hard to advice you without seeing photos or doing an in person evaluation. Tummy tuck, also know as abdominoplasty, is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and to restore the weakened abdominal wall, giving a firmer and smoother appearance. We nearly always add liposuction to our tummy tucks to sculpt the body 360 degrees to achieve an ideal feminine figure. Tummy tuck is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results if done correctly. 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. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
