    What is a Lipo-Abdominoplasty

    Lipo-Abdominoplasty, also known as a "Marraige" Adominoplasty is a combination of a traditional tummy tuck which includes tightening of the lose six-pack muscles and removal of loose hanging skin of the tummy and liposuction.  The two procedures are combined to enhance the results that you get from this body contouring procedure.

    What are the benefits of a Lipo-abdominoplasty?

    The Lipo-abdominoplasty procedure is a very effective body contouring procedure!  It combines the benefits of a tummy tuck which includes tightening of the loose six pack muscles, removal of excess skin of the abdomen, removal of any stretch marks below the belly button and removal of excess fat below the skin.  A tummy tuck is very effective at making the abdomen flatter and smoother,  but it is not as effective at defining the waist line if there is excessive fat in that area.  Most patients who desire a tummy tuck also want to enhance their waist definition.  They want to get their hour glass figure back.  A Lipo-abdominoplasty can do it!  By removing the excess fat of the upper abdomen, waist, back and bra rolls with liposuction then tightening the muscles and removing the excess skin, the entire torso can be contoured efficiently and effectively.  This results in a very dramatic improvement in body contour.

    Is it safe to combine Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck (Lipo-Abdominoplasty)?

    The short answer is yes!  For many year, it was thought that liposuction could not be combined with a tummy tuck safely.  This dogma remained in place for many years thereby limiting the cosmetic outcome that patients would receive from a tummy tuck or force them to have two separate procedures to get the improvement in body contour that they desired. New studies regarding the blood supply after tummy tuck and liposuction and the safety of combinining these proceduers has clearly demonstrated that you can get dramatically better results while keeping patients safe.  The lipo-abdominoplasty has been one of the most significant advances in cosmetic body contouring surgery in the last decade!

    How long is the recovery after a Lipo-Abdominoplasty?

    The recovery after a Lipo-Abdominoplasty is approximately 1-2 weeks until you resume regular activities, two weeks before you can do light exercise like walking,  jogging at 4 weeks and return to all activities including heavy exercise at 6 weeks.  You will see an immediate result but the final results take a few months to be visible until all of the swelling has resolved. Numbmenss of the treatment areas take a couple of months to resolve.  While you will begin to enjoy the early benefits of the procedure immediately, your enjoyment of your new figure will only increase with time as you see the dramatic changes that are possible.
