I'm considering a Mommy Makeover (tummy tuck, breast lift) and wondered about having additional liposuction in various areas at the same time. Could I have liposuction on my inner thighs, saddle bags and rear hips during the same surgery or is that too much? If it makes a difference, I've recently lost 25 pounds (and still going!) so it would likely be be more shaping and smoothing lipo as opposed to large amounts of fat removal. Thanks in advance for your help!
Answer: About the Mommy Makeover and Ideal Techniques It's difficult to suggest without a in-person one-on-one consultation. The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. #MummyTummy is a term given to modified tummy tucks which can use liposuction and skin tightening with radiofrequency such Vanquish, Vela3, thermage, thermiRF and others. The actual fat contouring can be done non-surgically as well with #UltraShape or Cool-Sculpting. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. Many procedures can be combined. Cosmetic procedures such as Brazilian Butt Lift (#BBL), Thigh Lift (#TL) and Mommy Makeover (#MMO), which usually concentrates on the breast and abdomen areas, may be combined together. However, I look at the risk factors such as surgery time greater than 6 hours, or #anesthesia time, increased risks of DVT, prolonged #healing, #positioning after surgery to name a few, which are a lot to consider. These factors are relative to performing any variety of combinations. The suitability of your procedures and any specific risks may be determined during you #consultation. Your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. All surgical #procedures carry some degree of #risk. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation. Also, another element to a #satisfying result of your procedures are realistic #expectations.

Answer: Liposuction together with mommy makeover. From what you have described you are not going to require a very high volume liposuction and this can usually safely be done at the same time as the other procedures. This also may give you the opportunity to use the fat for fat grafting to add extra coverage of your implants on your breasts and also to add volume to buttocks if necessary.Good luck.

Answer: Liposuction with Mommy Makeover Thanks for your question! I would agree with the others that really the issue here, that is of paramount importance, is your safety. It's great to do a lot of combination surgeries at once from a cost effectiveness and recovery standpoint, but as I always tell me patients, we don't want you to be the best looking person in the funeral home! Although in my experience of doing hundreds of mommy makeovers I routinely perform SAL of the lateral breasts & flanks, I would shy away from doing too much other SAL, it's just not worth the health risks. Discuss this however with your own plastic surgeon. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Lipo limits vary upon numerous considerations Hi Maggies902. The amount of liposuction that can be done varies upon a number of factors. In some states, office based surgery has a cap of 1 L lipo aspirate during other major procedures. Surgeries done in hospitals and surgery centers typically have higher limits, and this may vary if you are spending the night in the facility under close medical supervision. The length of anesthesia required will also impact your surgeon's decision of how many areas to do. Since you aren't anticipating large volumes of fat needing to be removed and may need skin tightening after your weight loss, be sure to inquire about shaping with lipo technologies, like VASER, that can be done independent of the amount of fat removed. Good luck!
