Keloid after Liposuction more than likely not going to be a problem

Scott Tucker, MD answers: Keloid scarring after liposuction?

I'm a white female in my 20's and considering geting liposuction. I've been told I have keloid scaring after I had my ears pierced. I'm wanting to know if I'll get these scars from a liposuction procedure? If so, will they be big?

Keloids on earlobes are realatively common. It would be extremely unlikely to get keloids at liposuction incisions. It is possible, just not probable.

Good luck with your surgery.
