If all of the issues are present, excess fat, skin, and stretched muscle, both surgeries are often needed. I do these as separate surgeries because when done at the same time, there is a greater risk of serious wound healing problems, and also not as much fat can be suctioned, leaving more behind which gives a less than optimal result for the tummy tuck.
Find out which procedure is best for you by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Wiener.
