Do I need liposuction with my tummy tuck or will most of my skin/fat be removed?

Do i need lipo wiyh Tummy Tuck
Nov 7, 2019

In my experience unless you have a BMI of less than !8, you will benefit from liposuction associated with your tummy tuck. A tummy tuck is only going to treat a very specific area between your belly button and your pubic area. Liposuction can reach and improve the adjoining areas.

I’m worried if having a tummy tuck would be a waste if I have children?

Tummy Tuck before Pregnancy?
Nov 7, 2019

This is a frequently asked question in my practice. I usually start by asking the patient "are you married?" " Do you have a steady partner?" "Are you in the stage of discussing pregnancy with your partner?" f the answer to any of the above is NO and the patient has the criteria for a tummy tuck (as you do as evidenced by that fold from your drooping abdomen) then my suggestion is either go ahead with it or do nothing until after pregnancy. I don't recommend doing an inferior procedure ...

Will I see good results from getting lipo 360 or is a tummy tuck necessary? What is best to get rid

Tummy Tuck or just Lipo?
Nov 7, 2019

From your photos you most certainly need a Tummy Tuck. Please don't let anyone convince you into performing liposuction alone just because they are using some "special technique" or some type of skin contracting energy source. You will benefit from, and most likely require, to do lipo also but this has to be accompanied by a tummy tuck.

Please share your thoughts on Tummy tuck and Liposuction under an Epidural/spinal block, is this sa

TummyTuck with Epidural Anesthesia
Nov 7, 2019

As long as you have a competent anesthesiologist who is comfortable in doing this type of anesthesia and you are not extending your liposuction into the very upper apart of your tummy this is a viable alternative anesthesia. It is commonly utilized in So. America. I don't think there are too many anesthesiologists in the US however that would feel comfortable doing this in an office OR setting. Probably seen as "below the standard of care"

Any advantages of having TT first and BBL second? I don’t have a lot of fat to waste.

Tummy Tuck and BBL, together or in 2 Stages?
Oct 23, 2019

I strongly believe you should do both procedures at same time. As you mention, once you perform the tummy tuck you will have less fat available for your BBL. Plus the absolute best way to perform a tummy tuck is to do fairly aggressive liposuction at the same time. Therefore it only makes sense to perform the two together.

Do I really need a tummy tuck due to loose skin after a BBL?

Tummy Tuck or just Liposuction
Oct 23, 2019

You do have some loose skin from your pregnancy. This normally requires removal of the excess skin to obtain best result. However you are quite young and wish to have additional children, I would suggest to you that you only have the liposuction now BUT maintain realistic expectations as to what you will obtain. I believe you will get a significant improvement from lipo alone and you can always do the tummy tuck later.

Wanting a new body. Will a tummy tuck and liposuction help after VSG?

Plastic Surgery after VSG
Oct 23, 2019

Although you have not indicated how much you have already lost and or are planning on loosing within the next few months, You will need to have the excess tissue(skin and fatty layer) removed from various parts of your body. Most patients start with some form of extended tummy tuck or lower body lift. The other areas of looseness; the arms,thighs or breasts can be done at later stages. Liposucttion usually is not very helpful in any weight loss patient.Congratulations on your weight loss, ...

How can I avoid infections after surgery?

Infections after Tummy Tuck
Oct 15, 2019

It is my personal belief after 31 years of practice during which tummy tucks have always been my primary procedure that the infection rate is extremely low,approaching zero if a couple of conditions are met. An office OR, run by a single or a small number of board certified plastic surgeons using board certified anesthesiologists staffed by a well trained staff of personnel responsible for the preparation of the patient as well as all the supplies and instruments is the safest way to ...

I am getting a full tummy tuck in December. Will my tattoo be distorted?

Distortion of Tattoo after Tummy Tuck
Oct 15, 2019

By evaluating the photos you submitted, I don't think your tattoo underlying your breast can possibly be affected more than being pulled down at the most about an inch. I don't think you should have anything to fear.

Am I a good candidate for tummy tuck?

Tummy Tuck or Lipo
Oct 15, 2019

From your photos you definitely need a tummy tuck IN ADDITION to 360 degree liposuction. This will give you the absolute best chance of having a smaller waistline and a flat stomach.

Would you suggest tummy tuck and lipo or just tummy tuck after 3 c-sections?

Tummy Tuck with or without Lipo
Oct 1, 2019

Your height and weight would be useful information as this determines your BMI which in turn helps predict, in my experience, the type of result a patient can expect.Personally I would never perform a tummy tuck without accompanying liposuction. At the same time I believe that a BMI of of 35 or higher will never allow for a result that merits the surgery whether liposuction is performed or not. And ideally your BMI should be below 30 to get a great result.

Can I have a tummy tuck if I have a fatty liver (with some liver fibrosis)?

Cosmetic Surgery with Fatty Liver
Oct 1, 2019

Ditto everyone's praise for the weight loss. Your question is not really about whether surgery can be performed correctly but rather whether your medical condition is compatible with the effects of anesthesia, during and after the surgery. Hence this is a matter that I let my board certified MD anesthesiologist decide with the patients medical doctors.This is a medical situation, not a surgical one. The surgery go well if your medical doctors agree that you can undergo it.

Can I get a TT and lipo 360 4 months after laserscoptic kidney removal?

BBL after Kidney Removal
Sep 23, 2019

After 4 months your tissues should have recovered fairly well from a relatively benign procedure in terms of invasiveness. I agree that to be completely sure, you should consult your kidney surgeon and if you have any other medical co-factors like obesity,high blood pressure ,diabetes or similar medical conditions , you should get a medical clearance from an internist before getting your BBl.

Why can't the doctor perform alot of liposuction with a full tummy tuck ? Is it risky?

Full Liposuction wth Tummy Tuck
Sep 23, 2019

As other doctors have responded, the blood supply to the abdominal skin(flap) being lifted and partially removed comes from three sources. All tummy tucks cut off the source coming in from below. Most doctors also cut off the source coming from deep. Consequently they leave only one source of blood supply remaining and of course they rightfully should be very concerned with doing combined aggressive liposuction as this could severely compromise this last source of blood supply and injure the...

Mom of 2: Tummy tuck or lipo or both?

Tummy Tuck vs Lipo or both
Sep 23, 2019

A lipoabdominoplasty is almost always going to be the best choice for a patient with multiple pregnancies and persistent post partum weight. There are a few exceptions in which patients have retained almost completely normal skin tone and in which liposuction alone would do the trick.But as you mentioned in your question, most of even those few patients would benefit from tightening of the muscles. The combination of both procedures as in The Miami Tummy Tuck is always your best bet.
