Scheduled for extended Tummy Tuck soon; had preop exam with my primary care md today and she identified small lipomas in my upper abdomen (area in blue on pic). PS indicated during consult that lipo would not be done on this upper ab area due to blood supply issues there, so I'm concerned about whether these lipomas will be removed during the procedure when the upper ab skin is stretched down into place.

Answer: Can upper abdominal lipomas be remove during tummy tuck? Do i need to ask for this? If your surgeon feels that it is not safe, then don't do it. They can be removed after the tummy tuck and be safer.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear beckyshops,based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Can upper abdominal lipomas be remove during tummy tuck? Do i need to ask for this? (photo) Hi. Of course those lipomas can be and will be safely removed when performing the Full Tummy Tuck, they are right in the area of the flap ( the abdominal tissue to be remove in a Tummy Tuck porcedure). It also that can be safely combined with Liposculpture in upper and lower back, and BBL if needed. ( A common and daily procedure in my practice).

Answer: Can upper abdominal lipomas be remove during tummy tuck? Do i need to ask for this? Good day! Thanks for your information! I recommend you to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine what can be done at one procedure, and yes, lipomas can be improved during tummy tuck, but has to be a experienced surgeon also with the muscle repair. , It is true that liposuction cannot be done entirely, on upper abdomen because blood vessels and cells are over there..Besides that ,You are a very good candidate for the procedure ! Good luck!!
