Tummy Tuck
Can I have a tummy tuck done after 15 months of having tumescent/power assisted liposuction?
After having the tumescent/power assisted liposuction/micro laser assisted, I ended up with a pooch and a lump below my belly button. Can tummy tuck fix these irregularities? Thanks
Sounds like you unsatisfactory tightening of your skin and contour irregularity after a lipoplasty procedure. "Tummy Tuck" procedures can effectively change all of that. You would trade the skin excess and lump for a curvilinear scar along the very lowest part of your abdomen. ASAPS surgeons frequently deal with these issues. You should be encouraged.
Yes, usually a tummy tuck can be used to get rid of extra bulges of fat and skin in the lower abdomen, particularly if liposuction surgery was not enough. Of course this is not a 100% statement, so be sure to speak with a board certified plastic surgeon about your particular situation and be examined in person to be sure this is a good option for you.
The short answer is probably. In most cases a tummy tuck can solve issues such as you describe, however, every situation is unique. Your best option is to get an in-person consultation by a board certified plastic surgeon. All members of ASAPS are board certified Plastic Surgeons and have shown a special interest in cosmetic surgery.
Best wishes!
A formal tummy tuck should be able smooth things out and improve on your contour.
A tummy tuck may be able to fix your issues after liposuction. A tummy tuck removes the excess skin and fat below the belly button and helps contour the entire abdomen. Tummy tucks are often performed to fix irregularities that develop after liposuction of the abdomen especially if there is loose or excess skin present. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and have an in person exam to discuss your options.
