“One surgeon says lipo to the hips with a full tuck & the other says no lipo as it will result in lose skin. But I don’t want to have disproportionate hips especially with a tummy tuck . Which would be best?”, a RealSelf user asked.
“Thank you for your question. You’re a very good candidate for lateral tension abdominoplasty with bilateral flank liposuction. In this operation the lateral flank/thigh region is lifted at the same time as tummy tuck in order to remove the extra skin. Liposuction will be necessary to further sculpt this region. Please consult with your plastic surgeon regarding this technique. Best of luck.”, Aristocrat’s certified surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani, M.D., F.A.C.S explained.
