Dr. Kris Reddy advises a Combination of Liposuction and Abdominoplasty
43Plastic surgeons are often asked if liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) should be performed at the same time. Liposuction and abdominoplasty (especially if it is minimal) can be performed safely at the same time. However, the benefits of doing so must me weighed against the risks. The patient's health and lifestyle should also be considered.
Dr. Kris Reddy, a well-qualified liposuction expert advises a combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty. The two primary concerns for combining liposuction and abdominoplasty outlined by Dr. Kris Reddy are by combining them, the total expected time under anesthesia is increased. Anesthesia time should always be maintained at a safe level that is well within your state's parameters. The goal is to minimize the risk of deep venous thrombosis (dvt) which are blood clots in the veins) and pulmonary embolism (which can cause sudden death after surgery). Both conditions have a greater likelihood with longer operations.Secondly, the liposculpture benefits are often minimized if the two procedures are done at the same time. To achieve the optimal result, it is often best to remove the fatty deposits using liposuction. Then, wait until you see how the body heals. Once this healing is done then you can better sculpt the body using the tummy tuck procedure.
The decision to combine these two procedures should be carefully considered by both the plastic surgeon and the patient, exclaims Dr. Kris Reddy. The plastic surgeon must have a full understanding of the patient's health and lifestyle in order to advise the patient properly.
