What Procedures Can Be Combined With Liposuction? 

In addition to being an incredibly versatile procedure with a wide range of treatment areas, liposuction can be combined with other surgeries to complement your entire figure. This blog discusses how liposuction can be a beneficial add-on to procedures such as tummy tucks, Brazilian Butt Lifts, and breast surgeries. 

Creating Your Aesthetic Vision 

Feeling confident in your body and appearance can do wonders for your self-esteem and make you significantly more confident in your everyday life. However, it can be challenging to feel good about yourself when long-harbored body insecurities get in the way. Whether you’re self-conscious about stubborn fat, a protruding belly, or not having the voluptuous buttocks you desire, it can be difficult to feel comfortable in your body. Additionally, it is often hard to find clothes that fit your body well when these are areas of concern. Fortunately, cosmetic surgeries provide options for treating body areas that may evoke insecurities.  

What Can Liposuction Achieve? 

Liposuction was named the most popular surgical procedure in 2023 by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, which makes sense since stubborn body fat is such a common concern for many people. While not a weight loss surgery, liposuction can help patients permanently eliminate stubborn fat pockets in select areas. Many people choose liposuction to remove excess fat in the stomach, hips, and thighs since these areas tend to be particularly resistant to diet and exercise. However, nearly any body area can be treated with liposuction. 

Patients can receive amazing results with liposuction, sculpting the body contours of their dreams. While liposuction can often yield excellent results as a standalone procedure, some patients may benefit from combining their liposuction with additional procedures. 

What Are the Benefits of Combining Plastic Surgery Procedures? 

Combining plastic surgery procedures offers several benefits, some of which may include: 

• Increased convenience of only needing one surgical appointment instead of multiple 
• Receive more comprehensive results that can complement the entire body 
• Have one recovery period, decreasing the time you need to put your life on pause to heal 
• Save money by paying for additional costs (i.e., anesthesia, surgical facility fees, medications, etc.) once 

If you’re interested in combination procedures, ask your surgeon during a consultation so they can help determine if you’re a good candidate. Your surgeon can also provide recommendations for which procedures can help you reach your aesthetic goals. 

What Can Be Performed With Liposuction?  

Liposuction can be combined with several body contouring procedures to enhance results. It is a key step of the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, removing fat from unwanted body areas and transferring it to enlarge and reshape the buttocks. A BBL can be a great option for patients who want to increase curves by redistributing excess fat, allowing a balance in their overall silhouette. 

Tummy tuck surgery is another procedure that is often a good addition to liposuction. Many people getting tummy tucks want to remove stubborn fat in the stomach. Since a tummy tuck alone can only remove a limited amount of fat, liposuction can help to remove more stubborn fat and give patients toned stomach contours. 

Women who are interested in getting a breast procedure, such as breast augmentation or breast lift, may also want to eliminate stubborn body fat. Liposuction is often combined with breast procedures, especially for women who are choosing to get a Mommy Makeover (which typically includes a breast procedure, liposuction, and a tummy tuck).
