Is Upper Abdominal Lipo Necessary After A Tummy Tuck?

The upper abdominal skin is used to cover the defect left by excising all of the lower abdominal skin and fat. Liposuction performed on the upper abdomen can seriously diminish the blood supply causing healing problems and even significant skin loss and scarring. Because the skin and fat are stretched, this may be all that is necessary to reduce the thickness. If not, liposuction could be safely performed in six months.  At PREMIERE Center, we have been practicing the liposuction surgical procedure for over 18 years with our board certified plastic surgeons on staff ready to consult with you at either our Coral Gables / Tampa locations. Best of luck in your ultimate decision!
