Answer: Tummy tuck and liposuction safety Hello and thank you for your question. Both a tummy tuck procedure and liposuction only address the excess fat and skin above the muscle layer. The abdominal cavity (where the organs are located) is deep to the muscle layer and unaffected by these procedures. Please see a board-certified surgeon in consultation to discuss your concerns, treatment options, and to have your questions answered in detail.Best Regards,Dr. Zamani
