Combining Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck is a powerful procedure for achieving a contoured and sculpted midsection. This comprehensive approach not only removes excess fat and skin but also tightens the abdominal muscles for a smooth and toned appearance. To ensure you get the best results, it's crucial to choose the right surgeon and know what to ask. Here are five essential questions to ask your surgeon before undergoing Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck.

1. Are You a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon?

Ensuring your surgeon is board-certified is fundamental to achieving safe and successful results. Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery indicates that the surgeon has undergone extensive education and training. It also signifies adherence to high standards of ethics, safety, and quality. At Adonis Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons bring their extensive experience and commitment to excellence to every procedure.

2. What Can I Expect from Combining Lipo 360 with a Tummy Tuck?

Understanding the benefits and intricacies of combining Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck will help you set realistic expectations. Here’s what you need to know:

Lipo 360

• Comprehensive Contouring: Targets fat around the entire midsection, including the abdomen, waist, flanks, and back.

• Smooth Results: Provides a 360-degree transformation, ensuring a balanced and proportionate look from all angles.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

• Excess Skin Removal: Removes loose, sagging skin from the abdomen.

• Muscle Tightening: Repairs and tightens abdominal muscles for a firmer midsection.

• Improved Contour: Enhances the overall contour and silhouette of the abdomen.

Combining these procedures offers dramatic improvements in body shape, making it a popular choice for comprehensive body contouring.

3. What is the Recovery Time for This Combined Procedure?

Recovery time for Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck can vary based on the extent of the surgery and individual healing rates. Generally, patients can expect:

• Initial Recovery: Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks.

• Full Recovery: More strenuous activities can usually be resumed after 6-8 weeks.

• Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments for several weeks post-surgery to reduce swelling and support healing.

Your surgeon will provide a detailed recovery plan tailored to your specific needs to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.

4. Can You Show Me Examples of Your Previous Work?

Reviewing before and after photos of a surgeon's previous work is essential in evaluating their expertise. A reputable surgeon should be proud to showcase their results and provide ample examples.

A qualified surgeon will discuss these openly and explain the measures taken to minimize them. By choosing a board-certified surgeon with a proven track record, you can significantly reduce these risks and ensure a safe and effective procedure.
