I'm having a tummy tuck, lift and breast implant replacement in 3 weeks. I'm really worried about the recovery. I'm a mother of 4 and own a business, so speedy is a must. That aside, I want a great natural look. I'm noticing women who have lipo, in addition to what I'm getting done, have harder/longer down time. I really want to omit the liposuction. I just don't want the extra trauma or pain. What do you think in my case? I have a small flank patch but think I can work out to get rid of it.
Answer: Should you skip liposuction? In my opinion, the liposuction isn't the limiting factor determining when you get back to work. It's actually the tummy tuck. When your surgeon does your tummy tuck, he will be putting the muscle wall back together to where it was before babies. The liposuction will simply give you more of a waist. Since you will be wearing the same compression garment and it won't change your recovery time, I would recommend keeping it as part of your surgical plan. You will be glad you did once you see your new shape. Good luck!

Answer: Multiple Procedures Based on Individual Needs of Each Patient The best method and #technique for your #procedures will be discussed in greater length during your one-on-one consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to restore a woman’s body to look as is it did prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction.

Answer: Mommy makeover The tummy tuck is the portion of the procedures that has the longest recovery. Liposuction is not necessary, but may help compliment the other procedures. It should not lengthen your recovery. I suggest speaking with your surgeon about your concerns.

Answer: Getting TT, BL and implant replacement and want to skip Lipo. Is this a normal request? Thanks for your question and pictures. For the group of procedures you are having done, the tummy tuck will determine the length of recovery and will lead to the majority of the down time. Liposuction is often combined to help contour the entire waist/trunk. Speak with your surgeon about your concerns.
