Am I a candidate for tummy tuck after aggressive lipo? I previously had liposuction which was very aggressive and my compression garment was very tight and created creases and fibroids on my upper abdomen can I be a successful candidate for a tummy tuck?

Irregularities that develops from liposuction may be related to some laxity of the skin that cannot fully contract after losing the volume. The best procedure may be from some skin tightening such as the tummy tuck. Proper evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon would be ideal.

I had breast augmentation with a lift 8 days ago. Every time I move my left arm either to pull or push, it feels like the implant is moving underneath the muscle. Is that normal?

When the implants are placed under the muscle, or SubPectoral, they will move with any activity of the arms. As the muscle relaxes over the implant, it may be less noticed. Generally, limiting the movement and activity for the first 2-4 weeks will allow for a quicker healing
