I am scheduled to have a tummy tuck and lipo on my stomach and flanks. How long after the surgery can I schedule lipo laser for my arms and thighs? Not sure how long my body needs to remove the anesthesia from my system.

Answer: Laser lipolysis If you are having a tummy tuck and abdominal liposuction you probably want to wait until you are comfortable enough to take care of yourself prior to undergoing laser liposuction of the arms and thighs. Medically speaking, there is no real wait time for these two separate areas to be addressed, however, I think that functionally you would be happy you waited for your abdomen to feel a bit more comfortable prior to treating your upper and lower extremities.

Answer: Up to six weeks It is reasonable to wait six weeks following a Tummy tuck to do more areas of liposuction . If you are treating areas distant from the abdomen such as arms and thighs as you mentioned, you would be able to do the liposuction even sooner, if desired. Your board certified plastic surgeon would be the best person to help you decide the extent and timing of your procedure.
