Combining Liposuction with Other Procedures

Liposuction + Other Treatments for Body Transformation

While liposuction is highly effective for removing stubborn fat deposits and sculpting the body, it is often combined with other procedures to achieve comprehensive body transformation. Whether you’re a woman or a man who is looking to address loose skin, enhance muscle definition, or rejuvenate your overall appearance, combining liposuction with complementary procedures can help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals.

Dr. Ali is a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon located in the Detroit area who has helped numerous patients remove unwanted fat and sculpt their bodies with liposuction.

In this article, top Detroit, MI area board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali the benefits of combining liposuction with other surgical and non-surgical treatments for a complete body makeover.

Combining Liposuction with Tummy Tuck Surgery

For individuals with excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles, liposuction alone may not provide optimal results. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, can address these concerns by removing excess skin, tightening abdominal muscles, and reshaping the waistline. By combining liposuction with a tummy tuck, patients can achieve a flatter and more toned abdomen with improved contours.

A full body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to address loose skin and excess fat in multiple areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Liposuction can be incorporated into a body lift to remove stubborn fat deposits and enhance overall body contours. By combining these procedures, patients can achieve a smoother and more sculpted physique with improved skin laxity.

Combining Liposuction with Fat Transfer

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or lipofilling, involves harvesting fat from one area of the body via liposuction and injecting it into another area to add volume and enhance contours. Common areas for fat transfer include the face, breasts, buttocks, and hands. By combining liposuction with fat transfer, patients can achieve natural-looking enhancement and rejuvenation without the need for implants or synthetic fillers.

In addition to targeting areas of excess fat, liposuction can also be used to enhance breast or buttocks volume in women. For women seeking larger breasts or a more rounded behind, Dr. Ali can actually use liposuction to remove (harvest) fat from donor sites such as the abdomen or thighs – and then inject it into the breast or buttocks to add volume where it is needed.

Combining Liposuction with Skin Tightening

In addition to surgical procedures, liposuction can also be combined with non-surgical treatments to enhance results and promote overall rejuvenation. Treatments such as laser or radiofrequency skin tightening can complement liposuction by tightening loose skin, improving skin texture, and enhancing overall body contours.

Everyone’s skin is different – and the degree to which your skin ‘snaps back” in areas where fat was removed after liposuction can vary. If you experience some skin laxity after liposuction, it can be combined with follow-up skin tightening at AMAE Plastic Surgery in the Troy, MI area.

Many patients find that as the swelling gradually subsides over time, their skin contracts as well in the treated area. But individuals who have a greater degree of skin laxity – especially older patients – may find that their skin is left being a little loose after liposuction. This is because, as we age, the body produces less of the collagen and elastin that help skin retain its firmness and elasticity.

Combining Liposuction with Weight Loss Shots

Liposuction is a great way to spot reduce those trouble spots that simply don’t respond to diet and exercise – making it a great way to kickstart your weight loss journey.

But for patients who need to lose weight overall, for maximum results, liposuction can be combined with weight loss injections at AMAE Plastic Surgery in the Detroit area. Semaglutide shots (the same ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) can help remove additional fat to optimize the body contouring results achieved with liposuction.
