Hey Doctors! I had waterlipo on my stomach in may, I want to do smartlipo on the spring. I have a bit of loose skin but nothing Horrible, and I have hardness in some areas and I'm bigger in the middle area, my question is can I have tummy tuck later in the future even after a smartlipo and waterlipo on the stomach? Can it cause any damage? I'm 27 and have no kids! Weigh 72kg and height 165cm.
