Can liposuction be combined with a tummy tuck?
Yes, liposuction is often done at the same time as a tummy tuck. The most common area to treat is the love handle region to create a better waist contour. However, it is not safe to perform liposuction of the abdomen concurrently because it may interfere with circulation to the abdominal wall skin. If you have extra fat in the abdomen, it is safer to either lose weight before surgery or wait until after you are healed to have liposuction to avoid complications.
