Can body contouring be performed with liposuction at the same?
Yes. Liposuction and body contouring (abdominoplasty, tummy tuck, brachioplasty, arm lift, thigh lift) can be performed at the same time (during the same procedure). Liposuction and body contouring (abdominoplasty, tummy tuck, brachioplasty, arm lift, thigh lift) are commonly performed together. For example, the abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is commonly performed with liposuction of the flanks and/or hips. Ann Plast Surg. 2006 Aug;57(2):149-53. Clin Plast Surg. 2004 Oct;31(4):571-81, vi.
