High Volume Liposuction prior to/or with thigh lift

Just wondering if anyone here has had or been advised to have high volume liposuction prior to thigh lift or tummy tuck or had liposuction done at the same time.  I have had two different surgeons give opposing viewpoints, one does liposuction as part of the thigh lift, the other says the liposuction should be done in advance so that the swelling can go down and allow better skin resection. The problem is that I've heard you must then wait from six weeks to six months to proceed with the actual thigh lift.   Any thoughts or experiences from anyone? Thanks

I have also heard u should have the Lipo done first then waih and then have the thigh lift  for a better result

I'm scheduled for aggressive lipo on my thighs tomorrow along with BL, arms and side of  chest lift. My dr said that if we do the lipo first we could get a much better result with the thigh lift. He said we are gonna take out about 4-5lbs each leg and then in about 8 months we will come back and do the actual thingh lift.

When I went for my consult my surgeon also said I'd have to lip on my legs to remove pockets of excess fat prior to the thigh lift.  Something about the fat can't be cut out when a thigh lift is done.  And yes you do have to wait in between the two procedures.

I chickened out, but best of luck to you.
