Question

How Much Does Ksl Hair Transplant Cost In Edinburgh

Following childbirth and a weight loss of roughly 20+ pounds, I have excess skin on my abdomen. I'm interested in finding out if liposuction and skin removal are viable options for me. I've never had a flat stomach even at my thinnest, so this isn't a concern.

Congrats on your weight loss and for researching body contouring procedures thoroughly! A tummy tuck, which removes excess loose skin and contours your abdomen and to some degree flanks and hips, is often the best solution for loose skin. The results of a tummy tuck can often be further enhanced by adding liposuction to refine specific areas of concern. Liposuction alone will not eliminate the excess skin, so a combination of a tummy tuck and liposuction could be your best choice. Best of luck with a successful outcome and swift recovery!

Combining liposuction and skin excision is certainly possible, but it is important to find a surgeon who is comfortable with this approach. While there may still be some outdated beliefs from the past, when combining the two procedures on the tummy was considered forbidden, it is now well-established that liposuction and skin excision can be safely combined. If you are considering liposuction in areas other than the tummy, it is certain that these procedures can be combined. The concept of lipoabdominoplasty, which combines liposuction and skin excision on the tummy, has been proven safe over the years.

Thank you for your question. Based on your description, it seems like you are referring to an abdominoplasty, with or without muscle plication. Your goals and future family planning can influence the appropriate surgical plan for you. In some cases, liposuction alone may be sufficient, and skin removal can be added if necessary. I recommend consulting with a local board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific needs and provide personalized recommendations. Best wishes on your journey!
