Im getting the lapband can i get lipo and a full tummytuck
Answer: Lap-band and liposuction and tummy tuck
Yes you can have Lap-band and liposuction after a Lap-Band. If you need these procedures it means that the surgery was a success. Sometimes at the same time as the tummy tuck we will revise the port placement and change to a low profile port and even bury it under the muscle that there is no bump on your abdominal wall that can occur after you lose a lot of weight. Congratulations on needing a tummy tuck, it means you were successful with the surgery.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Lap Band and Tummy tuck and liposuction Having body contouring procedures such as liposuction and tummy tuck post lap banding operation is very common. It does help for your surgeon to change your port to a low profile port if you have a high profile port at the time of the operation to minimize the bulge and discomfort of the port. Occasionally the site of the port can also be modified to a more appropriate positon based on your new body contour. It is also important for your Plastic/Cosmetic surgeon to be aware of the Port tubing insertion site and associated hernia. Although rare if your surgeon does not appreciate this problem during surgery they could injure your bowel.

Answer: Abdominoplasty and liposuction after lap band placement You can have an abdominoplasty and liposuction after lap band placement. I do this routinely. Your surgeon will need to know that you have had this procedure and can take appropriate precautions at the time of your surgery to avoid damaging the port. I would encourage you to discuss this with your bariatric surgeon as well. In certain patients we have elected to deflate the band prior to surgery to allow for greater caloric intake after surgery which can aid in the healing process. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Lap Band Your port may be in the way, but most plastic surgeons just move it out of the way and re-implant some where else or some consult a bariatric surgeon.
