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

It’s ideal to wait 6 months to a year after surgery to ensure proper healing and make sure all swelling has gone down.  Be patient. Your swelling should subside soon, and you can begin to enjoy your new look. If you are still interested in additional contouring after 6 months you may want to opt for a non-invasive option such as Coolsculpting to reduce remaining fat.

You may have lipo of abdomen at least 6 months after an abdominoplasty.  At 6 days post-operatively, it is too early to imagine a result.  The majority of inflammation resolves at 2-3 months and continues up to a year.  I incorporate liposuctioni with my abdominoplasty but not all surgeons do the same.  Your abdomen will become smaller as the edema resides.
