My experience with harvesting fat in an area where previous liposuction was done has been that it is harder to harvest high volumes of fat due to the scarring and fibrosis.
Fat grafting in a post liposuction area
Amir M. Karam, MD answers: Harvesting fat on abdomen fat liposuctioned twice?
I need to know if the remaining dregs of fat in my abdomen can be harvested for grafting, despite the fact it has been liposuctioned twice? I desperately want the damage done to my legs through liposuction repaired and I am very short on spare fat. I intend to get a tummy tuck so about half the flab on my belly will be thrown away and damage to this piece of skin wont be an issue.
