Tummy Tuck or Liposuction After Colon Resectioning

November 28, 2008
Asked By:mahesh in houston Texas

I had a Tummy Tuck 6 years ago, and a colon resectioning 2 years ago. I have gained a lot of fat due to inactivity. Can I have another Tummy Tuck procedure or a revision Abdominoplasty, or would Liposuction be a better option?
