Why cant tummy tuck and liposuction be done at the same time?
Although limited liposuction can be performed in the area of the hips and back, use in the front abdomen area may interfere with the circulation to the front and lower abdomen. This significantly increases the risks of skin loss or bleeding following the surgery. In addition, it has been found that doing the procedures about 6 months apart often allows a more effective contouring than either tummy tuck or liposuction alone can produce.
