Q:

I am a thin 35-year-old woman. I had abdominal liposuction in 1996, with good results. In 2001, I had my third child and have accumulated abdominal fat again in the same area. Can I have liposuction in the same area again?

A:

Sure, you can have another liposuction to the same area. However, you should check with your plastic surgeon to determine if you have more redundant skin than before, in which case an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) may be necessary in conjunction with liposuction.
