I've had a consultation with a Canadian plastic surgeon. He states that his incisions are low and straight across for the Tummy Tuck. There are other women who have posted that their incision is higher than expected. Also, we have not discussed the belly button, which seems to be an issue for other gals who have posted on their Tummy Tuck. Maybe I need to ask more questions. He also will be doing Liposuction on my outer thighs and a neck lift. Is this too much surgery for one day?

Answer: Neck lift and lipo is not too much for one day The amount of surgery really depends on the individual patient. However, tummy tuck, lipo and neck lift is generally not too much for one day as long as they keep the surgery less than 6 hours and you are in good health and under the care of competent anesthesiologists and staff. As for the incisions, you need to discuss the operative plan with your surgeon prior to the surgery so you are both on the same page. Good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Tummy tuck, lipo, and neck lift as a combined procedure These 3 procedures can safely be done at the same time, but the key is to make sure that you are personally a good candidate for it, both anatomically and from an overall health standpoint. In other words, if you are otherwise healthy, no hear problems, don't smoke, etc, and are not going to require a large volume of fat to be removed, you should do very well. This ultimately comes down to the judgment of the surgeon, and if you are unsure, you should seek another opinion from a surgeon in your area, simply to get another viewpoint.
