Is it wise to get a seperate under anesthesia liposuction for entire belly, back, shoulders and arms first. Then after months get a tummy tuck. Then after a few years (savings) get an arm lift? I don’t see much liposuction when it is combined within the tummy tuck, but you do pay a lot for it. That is why I thought a seperate procedure for the complete liposuction might be worthwhile… How about the risk at nerve damage, is it higher for shoulders or arms liposuction?
Answer: Liposuction The risk of nerve damage is very low with liposuction since the vacuum pressure in the tube does not damage nerves. The advantage of doing all the liposuction first is that the OR time is shortened, and liposuction of the abdomen can be done to remove excess fat. If the tummy tuck is done at the same time, the abdomen cannot have liposuction for safety to the lower skin, and more time is added to the general surgery. We typically wait at least 6 months after liposuction before proceeding with the arm tuck or the tummy tuck.

Answer: Staging procedures From the submitted photos it doesn't appear you would need to have the liposuction and tummy tuck procedures done in stages. If you would feel more comfortable doing so you may want to consider having the tummy tuck performed first and then once healed return for liposuction to further contour your results. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Tummy tuck then liposuction and arm lift I always recommend doing the tummy tuck prior to liposuction. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Once this has been completed, you can consider liposuction, if needed. If you are interested in an arm lift then that can be done at the time of the tummy tuck or liposuction to save you money.

Answer: Essential Medical Ideas Hello; Liposuction can be implemented for waist, back and arms; at the same session. If the skin is excessively loose; for skin tightening purposes; Renuvion J Plasma can be performed.For the abdomen area, first Liposuction; in another session, having a Tummy Tuck; creates some problems in terms of appearance and application. In tummy tuck, the upper abdominal skin is at its loosest state; which is preferable. Because, during abdominoplasty period, the abdominal skin above the navel is removed from the lower abdominal skin since it sags; it is used for covering up open space. However, when liposuction is performed; the resulting fibrosis, reduces the elasticity of the skin. After liposuction treatment, the elasticity of the upper abdominal skin decreases. Therefore, for someone who has had Liposuction; performing a tummy tuck becomes more difficult. Addition to these, it is not possible for performing homogeneous Liposuction on the sagging abdomen. Depressions and ripples; both occur in the abdomen. This situation is also difficult for correcting; after a Tummy Tuck period.

Answer: Never lipo before TT Liposuction will let a lot of scar tissue which will never disappear from your body. Fibrosis is the internal scar tissue as is a scar after any cut on the skin, it never disappears.
