Tummy Tuck With Liposuction in New Orleans
A tummy tuck with liposuction combines the benefits of two transformative procedures, delivering comprehensive body contouring results. Dr. Jules Walters offers this synergistic approach to help people from New Orleans, Louisiana, eliminate loose abdominal skin and stubborn fat deposits during a single surgery with only one recovery. It’s an ideal solution when diet and exercise alone fail to deliver the firmer, more sculpted physique you desire.
This combined procedure blends the benefits of a tummy tuck—tightening abdominal muscles and removing excess skin—with precision liposuction to sculpt away stubborn fat deposits in the abdominal area.
Dr. Walters carefully tailors each approach to your unique goals, ensuring harmonious contours and skin tone. This dual treatment targets areas that exercise and diet simply can’t reach on their own for a smoother midsection, a flatter core, and more definition.
Patients who have relatively good muscle tone are also excellent candidates for our high-definition liposculpture technique that utilizes VASER technology.
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:
A traditional (standard or full tummy tuck) addresses the entire abdominal area by removing excess skin and tightening abdominal muscles. Your belly button is artfully reshaped and repositioned for natural-looking results.
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.
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.

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.
You may be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck if you’re in generally good health, close to your ideal weight, and wish to address both loose abdominal tissue and stubborn fat. Ideal candidates include individuals post-pregnancy or weight loss who have retained a stable weight for several months. This procedure isn’t recommended if you are planning any future pregnancies or anticipate significant weight changes, as these situations could impact your long-term outcome. Dr. Walters will evaluate your goals, lifestyle, and body proportions to help you determine if a tummy tuck with liposuction is right for you.
Our care for you continues long after you leave the office. Your recovery experience includes:
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, including how to care for the surgical site, how to manage discomfort, and when it is okay to resume various levels of activity. Patients’ recovery progress is checked at post-op visits, and Dr. Walters remains fully available to answer questions and offer extra support throughout the entire recovery process.
As swelling subsides in the first few weeks, you’ll notice a firmer, flatter midsection.
Final results are typically visible between 3 to 6 months, with incisions continuing to fade over the following year. With a stable weight, healthy lifestyle, and no future pregnancies, results are long-lasting.
