The tummy tuck with liposuction
It depends on the philosphy of the plastic surgeon. I have no isssue with liposuction and tummy tuck at the same time if planned appropriately. (Earl Stephenson, Jr., MD, DDS, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon)
Tummy tuck and liposuction are frequently done together. You should schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can review the procedures as well as the risks and benefits of both. (Edwin C. Pound, III, MD, Atlanta Plastic Surgeon) If you are a good candidate for the surgical treatment plan you described, there is not reason you cannot have all of the areas you mentioned addressed at the same time. It does at some anesthesia time to the surgery as you add to the number of procedures or areas to be treated, but it is generally considered entirely safe to have unto a six hour surgical procedure as an outpatient on an otherwise healthy person without risk factors for surgery in general.
Make sure you are confident about the skills and experience of your board certified plastic surgeon, and the results of prior surgery he or she might have performed in the past on patents similar to you. (Ram Kalus, MD, Charleston Plastic Surgeon)
