Tummy tuck upgrade? liposuction combo found safe in small trial
NCT ID NCT07590492
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether it's safe to do liposuction at the same time as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). 63 adults were split into groups that had different amounts of skin lifting with or without liposuction. The goal was to see if the combination caused more complications like infection or skin death, and whether it improved the final look.
