Liposuction for Upper Abs After Tummy Tuck?

May 13, 2009
Asked By:tamipooh in matteson il

I had a full tummy tuck on 3-16-09. While my lower abdomen looks amazing compared to the way it use to look, I am not completely satified with my upper abdomen. I am going to try to reduce the fat in this area with diet and exercise. In the event that this doesn't work, how long should I wait to have this area liposuctioned?
