How Many Liposuctions Are Possible to the Same Area?
How many lipos are possible in the same area and after how long time? I had 3 unsatisfactory tumescent lipos and, although the 4th one- WAL technique- seems to be really effective, I might need some fat for injections.

Multiple liposuction procedures
Repeated liposuction to one area comes with all of the risks and problems mentioned previously by other surgeons here: irregularities, scarring, denting, etc. In my experience, after treating the same area twice it won't improve much further unless the technology also improves. As we surgeons repeatedly tell people, liposuction is NOT a weight loss procedure and should not be treated as such.

Repeated liposuctions- what are the risks?
Repeated liposuctions cause predictable problems. Each time liposuction is performed, there is less volume inside the same skin. Irregularities and unevenness can result. This risk increases with each procedure, even in the very best of hands.

Multiple liposuctions
If small cannulae are used and meticulous work done, there shouldn't be a need for multiple liposuctions. Occasionally there are indentations which can be filled with fat. You're describing water jet lipsuction but this shouldn't necessarily be more effective than your prior surgeries. You should let everything heal and proceed cautiously with any more surgery. Your body produces more collagen as a result of the trauma with each procedure and this increases the risks with...

Multiple liposuctions
It is unusual to require 3 or 4 liposuctions to a given area. You should find an experienced surgeon to do the liposuction that you desire. Over contouring may require fat injections to depressed areas.

How many liposutions can one have in the same area.
Dr. Aldea is correct--Why would you need multiple liposuctions. The first one should do the job. See an experienced liposuction surgeon and avoid gimmicky sounding sales names.

The BEST and Easiest Liposuction is the First
Not sure WHY anyone would need 4 sequential liposuction procedures on the same area(s). The first liposuction procedures is usually the easiest operation and promises to yield the most fat. With each sequential operation, there is more scar deposition which makes the operations harder.

Multiple liposuction treatment
There really is no limit to the amount of liposuction treatments that you should have. However, with subsequent liposuction treatments you begin to accumulate fibrous tissue and and have an increased chance of contour deformity. Good luck with your procedures.
