Liposuction can address stubborn, localized fatty deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Both a TT and lipo can be performed in one surgery. Liposuction results and the degree of improvement are entirely dependent upon the surgeon. I would have to see pictures or examine you to be able to make specific recommendations. There is a link provided. I would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
This is often done together and should be to get the best outcome in contour and shaping. Best, Dr. Emer.
Dear ily8387,tummy tuck and liposuction can be combined but many surgeons avoid liposuction of the abdomen due to possible healing problems. I would suggest you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
Yes, Liposuction can be done on the upper abdomen at the same time as a Tummy Tuck. It is actually a very common procedure to incorporate with the procedure. Sometimes the tissue above the belly button can be very dense and it needs to be thinned out to be able to pull it down appropriately. This is the best way to get great results, even though the tissue can be thick and dense. It is otherwise known as a Lipo-Abdominoplasty.
Liposuction of the area above the belly button and below the breasts is frequently performed.
