Answer: Combination surgery Thank you for your question. In my own practice I usually combine both of those 360 liposuction and tummy tuck surgery unless the patient is not suitable for long duration of anesthesia. combination surgery will be less time consuming regarding 2 different recovery process. The recovery period will be similar if you combine the surgeries. Best Luck!

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh If you have had 3 pregnancies with repeat cesareans then your abdominal wall has been severely damaged. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. I recommend doing the tummy tuck first with lateral flank liposuction. At the time of the secondary liposuction, any revisions can be done if needed.
