I want to get 360 lipo. Only lipo for now tummy tuck in a few months. Reason for this is, I want to do a bbl first, I want the entire back and entire abdomen area lipo. I've been told if I get a TT at the same time, they can't lipo my upper abdomen because of blood supply issues. How true is this?
Answer: Is it true my upper abdomen cannot be liposuctioned at the same time as my tummy tuck? Hello. Great question. However, every surgeon has their own surgical protocols. Without a proper examination and better images, it is difficult to properly evaluate your concerns. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Answer: Tummy tuck and liposuction While judicious liposuction can be performed in conjunction with abdominoplasty, care must be taken not to devascularize the upper flap as the key blood flow for healing of the transverse incision resides in the upper abdomen. If the procedures are to be staged (safer), typically a delay of 6 months is reasonable to allow for adequate healing. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: Is it true my upper abdomen cannot be liposuctioned at the same time as my tummy tuck? Thank you for your question. You should be able to do both liposuction and a tummy tuck at the same time. I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to come up with an appropriate surgical plan for you specifically.

Answer: Liposuction and tummy tucks The safest way to achieve your goals is to do complete liposuction with fat transfer to buttock (BBL) then wait a few months (six) before having a tummy tuck. A combined BBL and tummy tuck can be done however this may limit the amount of upper abdominal liposuction that can SAFELY be done.Consult with a few plastic surgeons in person before making your decision.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Tummy Tuck & Liposuction Thank you for your question & photo! Based on your photo, you would be a great candidate for lipo 360 and tummy tuck. I routinely do lipo 360, BBL and a tummy tuck together for optimal results. Liposuction will remove excess fat with some retraction of skin. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck! Dr Dhaval Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Chicago Hoffman Estates Oakbrook Orland Park
