What are your thoughts on combining liposuction with an abdominoplasty, and when does it make sense to perform both procedures together? How important is achieving a natural-looking belly button and strategically placing the lower abdominal scar in tummy tuck surgery? Why is blood clot prevention such an important part of the abdominoplasty recovery process, and what measures do you take to minimize that risk?
