Can I have other operations with tumescent liposuction? 

Yes, it is possible to combine tumescent liposuction with injection of the fat, laser procedures or other procedures.  However, the safety of liposuction (whether its tumescent liposuction or non-tumescent liposuction) is dramatically better if one does not undergo too much surgery at once. 

Therefore, ask your physician or physicians about combining procedures together, since it may be better to have them done separately, or at least in two settings instead of one. 

Certainly it is a convenience to the patient (and also for the doctor) to "get it all done at once," but may be a good idea to keep the above in mind.
