You can get other procedures with a tummy tuck, and very commonly liposuction is performed at the same time as a tummy tuck. There's been some controversy in the plastic surgery world about whether doing flank and side liposuction puts the tummy tuck at risk. Recent studies have shown that it is safe and effective. In terms of liposuction in other parts of the body, you can have that done with a tummy tuck. Very commonly, breast surgery is also done at the same time as a tummy tuck.
