Tummy Tuck with Liposuction

Tummy Tuck with Liposuction (Lipoabdominoplasty): The Full Transformation

In a tummy tuck with liposuction (lipoabdominoplasty) in New Jersey, the advanced and creative cosmetic surgeons from East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery of New Jersey combine two traditional procedures (liposuction and abdominoplasty) to help you get optimal results. Sometimes, two procedures are better than one, particularly when it comes to our midsections. A tummy tuck procedure primarily focuses on tightening and removing excess skin due to weight loss or pregnancy. When combined with liposuction, the two procedures can dramatically reshape the midsection by removing fat and firming the entire core of the body. Schedule a consultation at one of our ECAPS offices in Hoboken, Ridgewood, or Livingston to learn more about whether a lipoabdominoplasty is right for you.

What is a tummy tuck with Liposuction?

This advanced cosmetic procedure begins with liposuction, where fat beneath the skin is removed using a hollow metal tube inserted through the fatty tissue. The fatty tissue is then removed with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. Next, incisions are made on the lower abdomen. Your skin and underlying muscles are then repositioned and tightened, and any excess skin you may have is removed. The process leaves you with a flatter, tighter-looking midsection.

What is the Benefit of Getting a Tummy Tuck Alongside Liposuction?

A tummy tuck and liposuction complement each other perfectly, addressing both excess fat and loose skin to achieve a more sculpted and toned appearance. While liposuction effectively removes stubborn fat deposits, it doesn’t tighten stretched skin or repair weakened abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck, on the other hand, eliminates excess skin and tightens the underlying muscles, creating a firmer, flatter stomach. By combining both procedures, patients achieve more comprehensive body contouring results with a single recovery period rather than undergoing separate surgeries. This approach is especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy and want to restore a smoother abdominal profile.

Am I A Good Candidate For a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction?

When considering any type of cosmetic surgery, there are several factors to take into account. One or more of these points may help you decide whether or not liposuction with a tummy tuck is right for you:

  • Patients who are in good physical condition and of near-average weight make the best cosmetic surgery clients.
  • Those who wish to achieve a more even, toned body after weight loss, pregnancy, aging, or due to inherited factors may greatly benefit from this procedure.
  • The procedure is ideal for individuals with pockets of fat that are disproportionate to the rest of their body and cannot be reduced with diet and exercise.
  • Individuals with loose or sagging skin around the abdominal area can expect significant improvements after undergoing liposuction and a tummy tuck.
  • Don’t worry if your abdominal muscles have been stretched and weakened from pregnancy and cannot be corrected through exercise- this procedure reverses this muscle tissue.

During your one-on-one consultation with a surgeon at one of our ECAPS Centers of New Jersey, you will go over these considerations to ensure your surgery is a success. You should be prepared to discuss your full medical history during your consultation, including any medical conditions, previous surgeries or treatments, drug allergies, current medications, and use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances.

Special Considerations For A Lipoabdominoplasty:

Certain medical conditions, pregnancy, and weight issues may impact the success of your Lipoabdominoplasty. Consider the following:

  • This procedure is not recommended for those with uncontrolled diabetes, heart problems, or a weak immune system. These factors can complicate surgery and interfere with optimal recovery.
  • It is very important that you complete any weight loss prior to surgery; otherwise, your current problems may reappear. After surgery, it is essential to maintain your weight, as gaining weight after liposuction and abdominoplasty can negatively impact the long-term results.
  • It is also very important to inform your plastic surgeon if you are considering having children in the future because pregnancy causes unpredictable body changes that may affect your results in years to come.

Where Do I Begin?

To have a Lipoabdominoplasty done, you’ll first need to speak with a surgeon who specializes in body contouring. In the greater New Jersey and New York City areas, our team collaborates closely with patients to help them achieve their ideal appearance. It all starts with a consultation.

This appointment assesses your medical history and body composition in relation to your ideal outcome. This ensures that a safe and effective surgical plan can be put into place. You’ll review any medications you’re taking, potential skin conditions, and other factors that may impact the outcome of the procedure, and you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions. Once you’re comfortable, your surgery and pre-operative appointment can be scheduled.

In your pre-operative appointment, you’ll receive instructions on how to prepare for the procedure. Generally, this could include stopping certain medications and smoking (if applicable), arranging for help during recovery, or maintaining a stable weight. Before-and-after photos may also be taken at this time.

Surgery And Recovery

Lipoabdominoplasty is commonly an outpatient surgery performed with general anesthesia or a local anesthetic with sedation. The procedure typically requires a few hours to one day of recovery before your surgeon discharges you from the hospital. Any incisions you receive will be wrapped in gauze, and you will likely be required to wear a compression garment to help firm and tighten your skin. Walking after surgery shouldn’t be affected, and you will be up and about within a day or two following your surgery. Your incisions may be tender to the touch for the first few days, so it is highly recommended that you avoid lifting, pulling, or pushing anything during this time. Engaging in strenuous activity should be avoided within the first week. Bruising and swelling will likely occur, typically lasting up to one month. The surgeons at the East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery Center in New Jersey recommend follow-up visits to monitor your healing process. Following your doctor’s orders closely is crucial for achieving the best possible outcome. Upon leaving the ECAPS Center, you will receive detailed instructions for your recovery, including a list of common symptoms and signs to watch for that may indicate complications.

How Much Does a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction Cost in New Jersey?

The cost of a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction in New Jersey and New York City is individually priced. Since you’re combining two procedures, the cost for them together will be significantly lower than if you do them separately, since you’re only paying for the facility, anesthesia, medications, and surgical fees once. However, since everyone’s body is built differently, pricing can vary. On average, you can expect to pay between $10,000 and $20,000; however, this amount may vary depending on the specific surgical methods used. To get more accurate pricing, schedule a consultation. Financing options are also available at ECAPS, and our team would be happy to discuss these options with you if needed.
