Tummy tuck after lipo: how long do I need to wait?

February 28, 2016
Asked By:NicholleN in Pasadena, CA

I had liposuction to abdomen and flanks on Dec 4th. Doctor pulled out 1800cc of fat. I'm happy with the results, but (as my doc warned me--no complaints at all about the doctor or lipo --I chose it with full knowledge of the pros and cons) it didn't get rid of my stretch marks or loose skin that I have. I'm 5'5 and 125 pounds. Now, I want that skin removed, I.e. A tummy tuck. Lipo did make the skin shrink a bit, but now I want to look even better. Question is how long after lipo can I get a tummy tuck?
