A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) focuses on removing loose, sagging skin and tightening weakened abdominal muscles, while liposuction targets localized fat deposits to enhance overall body contours. Learn more about the differences between these procedures in this blog post.
When performed together, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures achieve:
Enhanced contouring: Addressing both skin and fat achieves harmonious and balanced contours
Minimized downtime: Combining procedures results in only one recovery process
Cost-savings: Pairing these procedures is typically more economical than having separate surgeries
Many liposuction with tummy tuck candidates pursue this powerful dual approach to accomplish their aesthetic goals as part of mommy makeover or after weight loss surgery.
How Is a Tummy Tuck With Liposuction Performed?
Your transformation begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Walters to assess your body type, concerns, and goals. The procedure is performed as outpatient surgery under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
Dr. Walters makes small incisions before performing liposuction to remove unwanted fat from targeted areas.
He then makes a horizontal incision just above the pubic area (hip to hip) to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles.
Finishing touches, such as final contouring and possible belly button repositioning, are performed to ensure natural, balanced proportions.
Dr. Walters meticulously closes your incisions to minimize scarring, and a compression garment is applied to reduce swelling and support healing.

Meet Our Surgeon
Jules Walters, M.D.
Dr. Walters draws from his exceptional training, experience, and skill to create beautiful, natural-looking results. He is board certified in both plastic surgery and general surgery, and completed extensive training in both aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. His memberships include:
American Society of Plastic Surgeons
Louisiana Society of Plastic Surgeons, President
American Medical Association
His credentials, integrity, and patient-centered approach make him one of the best-rated plastic surgeons in New Orleans.
Your concerns are never one-size-fits-all, and therefore, neither is Dr. Walters’ approach. The common types of tummy tuck with liposuction he offers address varying needs:
Traditional tummy tuck with liposuction
A traditional (standard or full tummy tuck) addresses the entire abdominal area by removing excess skin and tightening abdominal muscles. If necessary, your belly button is artfully reshaped and repositioned for natural-looking results.
Mini tummy tuck with liposuction
A less invasive mini tummy tuck or short-scar tummy tuck with liposuction only addresses minimal to moderate loose skin below the belly button. Liposuction helps precisely target fat deposits while sculpting optimal contours.
Extended tummy tuck with liposuction
This approach helps patients following substantial weight loss and is considered more invasive than a traditional tummy tuck. A larger incision is used, which expands past the hips to address flanks and love handles. Fat is extracted from the hips and lower back, and the belly button is repositioned. Extensive liposuction is performed, which may include ultrasound-assisted VASERlipo® for swift, dramatic results.
Patients who have relatively good muscle tone are also excellent candidates for our high-definition liposculpture technique that utilizes VASER technology.

Selected Reviews of Dr. Walters
On 08/11/2015, I got a tummy tuck and liposuction in 3 areas. I love my results and that it was affordable enough that I didn’t have to take out a loan or travel far to get an affordable tummy tuck. I love my hour glass figure. I love how confident my doctor was with his work! Thanks Dr. Jules Walters!
I am very satisfied with the results. Dr. Walter is very professional and well informed me of all information needed. I truly love my results and wouldn’t change it for anything. The before and after care from the office was wonderful. The procedure was exactly what I was told and the hospital was great also.
Had a lot of references for Dr. Walters in New Orleans LA he was professional n kind n did beautiful work on my body. He made sure I had very little pain as much as possible and also took my calls for outside of office for any other concerns. His staff was the best in comforting you and making my experience great.
Dr. Walters is a perfectionist! I have received so many compliments since my surgery. He did my tummy tuck, bbl, lipo, and my lips. My results are amazing. I would recommend anyone looking to get any work done in the New Orleans area to come see Dr. Jules Walters at Khoobehi & Associates. He is one who cares for his patients and watches you closely with follow-up after follow-up to make sure your healing well and the results are perfect.
I cannot say enough for the warmth and kindness that Dr. Walters and his staff have giving me. Dr. Walters and his staff have been so wonderful and accommodating. My schedule has been hectic and they were able to squeeze me in between other appointments. He didn’t try and force any one procedure on me and he listened to all of my suggestions regarding procedures. Dr. Walters thoroughly explained what to expect but gave me plenty of opportunities to voice my concerns, questions and desires. Dr. Walters has been patient, professional, available and very knowledgeable throughout the entire process – from the surgery and check-ups. He never treated me like I was less because he was the surgeon.
I am completely happy with Dr Walters and his staff. I had a Tummy tuck, Lipo and fat injected into the lateral buttocks. I’ve got plenty of compliments since my surgery and I can’t recommend Dr Walter enough.

What Is Recovery Like?
Recovery after a tummy tuck with liposuction varies based on the technique used, but most patients need about 1 or 2 weeks of downtime before returning to light activities. Compression garments help support healing. Dr. Walters provides tummy tuck patients with detailed post-op instructions that enhance their comfort and surgical outcome.
How Long Do Results Last?
The results of your combined tummy tuck with lipo are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and practice healthy lifestyle habits and do not become pregnant.
Is Getting a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Safe?
Yes, combining a tummy tuck and liposuction is safe and beneficial, assuming your procedure is performed by a qualified surgeon with extensive body contouring expertise. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon and tummy tuck specialist, Dr. Walters adheres to the highest safety protocols and patient care standards.
Tummy Tuck with Liposuction FAQ
How long until a tummy tuck looks normal?
Most tummy tuck results start to look “normal” within 4 to 6 weeks as swelling subsides and bruising fades. However, it can take 3 to 6 months for your final tummy tuck with liposuction results to appear and up to a year for scars to thin, flatten, and fade.
Will my stomach flatten after a tummy tuck?
Yes, a tummy tuck will flatten your stomach by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. However, maintaining a flat stomach depends on a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise.
How do most people pay for a tummy tuck?
You should expect to pay for your tummy tuck surgery out-of-pocket because it’s an elective cosmetic procedure. However, Dr. Walters offers flexible financing options, including PatientFi® and CareCredit®, which make paying for your tummy tuck more convenient and affordable.
What happens if I lose 20 lbs after a tummy tuck?
Losing 20 pounds after a tummy tuck can cause skin laxity and impact your tighter, smoother contours. For the best long-term results, it’s ideal to be close to your goal weight before undergoing a tummy tuck with liposuction.
