I have Lost my Waistline After Tummy Tuck, Will Lipo Help Contour?

Thank you for the question.

Although it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination,  it is very  likely that liposuction surgery will improve contours of the abdominal wall and flank areas after tummy tuck surgery.

It will be in your best interest to meet with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons in person to discuss your goals.

Best wishes.

Without photos or a face to face examination it is impossible to know what is going on what surgery if any would be helpful. The upper abdominal prominence you describe can be anything from loose muscle that can be tightened by revision abdominoplasty, fat that can be liposuctioned, excess skin that can be removed by revision abdominoplasty to a hernia that can be repaired.

I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.

My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Tumescent liposuction is such a great contour procedure under local anesthesia and shapes the waistline easily- especially after tummy tucks.  You can be back to work in 2 days and easy to undergo.  Sincerely,
