Can I Get Lipo in my Stomach After a Tummy Tuck, if So How Long Do I Have to Wait?

Thank you for your question.  Yes, you can have liposuction after a tummy tuck, but 6 days after surgery is way too early to consider any future surgeries.  You are likely very swollen and will not see your finally results until 3-6 months.  Best to discuss with your surgeon.  Good luck. 

  Dear Mc9511,

   The first thing I will say to you is "be patient". You are only 6 days from your TT and you will most certainly have swelling. This will generally resolve over the next several months and sometimes longer depending on your body habitus. Secondly, discuss your concerns with your surgeon. I'm sure they will explain to you the swelling process as it applies to you. Finally, it is possible and sometimes desirable to perform liposuction after a TT. I generally wait at least 3 months and even up to 6 months depending on the patient. Good luck. Dr. G.

When swelling subsides most patients after in abdominoplasty do not the liposuction. I would wait many months before considering this approach. The vast majority of abdominoplasty patients will not benefit from subsequent liposuction.
