Does Liposuction Include Removal Of Extra Flabby Skin?
my dr and i are looking at liposuction procedures. i am 5 7 and weigh over 300#...i have a huge stomach and obviously obese... i have many related health problems (hbp, aweful colesteral levels, nearly diabetic...6.2..., cad, and other diagnosis, atleast partly due to my stomach/weight, etc...). no matter how i try to eat right and exercise to the best of my ability, i gain weight and conditions worsen...my concern about liposuction is the remaining/flappy skin on/around my stomach, etc...does liposuction include cutting/tightening that skin, or is it just going to hang there...or can it be combined with other sergery???? thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that your doctors may be able to combine liposuction along with surgical removal of excess skin.
You should speak to the surgeon who is going to perform the procedure to see if he or she would be able to assist you.
I hope this helps
