Depending on your desired outcome, Dr. Gerth may also suggest combining your cosmetic liposuction with another procedure, such as a tummy tuck, to produce even more dramatic results for you. The tummy tuck is an ideal surgery for removing loose skin and tightening stretched abdominal muscles, both of which are often the result of one or more pregnancies. People who opt to get other surgeries alongside liposuction will only have to undergo one recovery process, as opposed to getting procedures at different times and having to deal with separate healing periods for each surgery.
