Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck / Liposuction Experience

Written By: Stuart A. Linder, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Beverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Here in Beverly Hills, every week we perform multiple abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedures with liposuction of the hip iliac crest rolls. In order to create a beautiful midriff or midsection with patients presenting with excess skin below the umbilicus, sometimes above as well, it becomes useful to undergo the abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedure here in Beverly Hills.

Most frequently liposuction of the hips is required in order to narrow the midsection and to allow for a more streamline appearance. Patients do well directly with placation of the midline rectus sheath or tightening of the midline muscles, which gives a flatter appearance of the stomach.

When large abdominoplasties or paniculectomies are performed with a massive amount of skin and fat removed, often the muscles of the midline are not tightened. However, liposuctioning of the hips or iliac crest rolls is extremely important in order to narrow the midsection of the middle third of the female figure.

Liposuctioning is usually quite safe when performed concurrently with an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedure here in Beverly Hills in our practice. Liposuctioning of the upper abdominal and mid epigastric region above the umbillious can be quite dangerous and we do not perform it at the original surgery of the abdominoplasty in order to prevent blood supply problems of the flap of tissue being brought down inferiorly.

When considering abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedures and liposuctioning of the hips, it is very important to find a Qualified Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, have successfully completed the prerequisites and knowledge and have the experience to perform this operation safely.
