How long after Tummy Tuck should one wait for Lipo?

These operations can often be handled safely at one surgery. Your surgeon may have had a particular reason to break them up. Unless there is some special circumstance, I would consider taking my patient back to the operating room after about six weeks, when they could be positioned comfortably on the operating table

Dear EKPmomIt was wise on your and your surgeons part to decide to be as safe as possible by breaking up multiple procedures. I think in the ideal world, you would wait around 3 months (or longer) to go back and do the second stage of your procedure. Considering the wedding is so soon, at 6 weeks from your first procedure, you can go back and have the liposuction areas that you want done safely. I often prefer to do the liposuction areas first and then go back for the tummy tuck and additional procedures. Both ways work well. Keep in mind that these are just general opinions and your surgeon and you should discuss the timing and decide what is the best timing in your case. Congratulations on your daughters wedding! (and your new body!)
