Hello all! Recently I have been looking into have liposuction done. I am up for a promotion at work for training and won't be able to take any time off anytime soon. I was wondering. Would I be able to get liposuction now then at a later date get skin removal? I don't mind wearing body garments being I've worn them since I was 16.

Answer: Staging procedures Yes it is possible to stage liposuction and skin removal. That being said I encourage you to begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. You may be a better candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. This can often be accomplished in one trip to the operating room.

Answer: Liposuction followed by skin removal Yes you can do liposuction and then later have skin removal, however there are a few things to consider before making the decision that this is right for your particular situation. There is a recovery time after liposuction, it is normally a shorter recovery time than recovery for skin excision but you will still need some time off. Some people are surprised by how much loose skin is present after liposuction and so you will need to learn at a consultation if this is a reasonable approach for you. In some cases, the main issue is loose skin and doing the liposuction first is really not beneficial, however it some cases it is actually quite helpful to do as you suggest. You can considering posting some photos or having an in person consultation for more specifics, All the best to you, Dr. Nancy de Kleer
