Lipoabdominoplasty, also known as a combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), is a surgical procedure designed to contour the abdomen by removing excess fat and loose skin while tightening the underlying muscles. This technique combines the benefits of both liposuction and abdominoplasty to achieve a more comprehensive abdominal reshaping.

During the procedure, liposuction is first performed to remove excess fat from the abdominal area, including the upper and lower abdomen and flanks (love handles). Then, an abdominoplasty is performed to address any remaining loose skin and tighten the abdominal muscles, which may have become stretched or separated due to factors such as pregnancy or significant weight loss.

The combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty allows for more extensive reshaping of the abdomen, resulting in a flatter, firmer, and more contoured appearance. Recovery from lipoabdominoplasty may involve wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. While the procedure can produce dramatic results, it's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine candidacy and discuss potential risks and benefits based on individual needs and goals.
