I know of no contraindications to liposuction in patients with uterine fibroids.  Because lipo is an aesthetic procedure, and the abdominal myomectomy is a major surgical procedure. I would schedule the myomectomy first.  Once your gynecologist has approved you for lipo, schedule a personal consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals. At that point a mini tummy tuck may be a better option.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
