Can liposuction be combined with other surgical procedures?
Yes, it can be. Dr. Pittman–Waller often combines liposuction with other body contouring procedures like tummy tucks or breast reductions. However, the liposuction done in these procedures is to touch up the final contouring effect, rather than to do major liposuction. The safety of surgery is much improved if you don’t try to do too much all at once. Combining major liposuction with major surgery increases the risk of surgical complications. In addition, there may be individual patient circumstances that warrant performing liposuction as a separate procedure.
