Fraxel and liposuction can be done safely if not done on the same area
Fraxel can be done with liposuction as long as they are done on two different areas. For example, liposuction on the body and fraxel on the face.

Combining Fraxel and liposuction
If the areas being treated are different parts of the body, eg Face for Fraxel and lipo on chin and abdomen, than go right ahead. But I would be cautious if the Fraxel is being done to the abdomen than I was going to lipo the same area. I would be apprehensive and most likely would do these at different times. Just my opinion.

Fraxel and Liposuction
I see no problem combining a Fraxel procedure at the same time as a Liposuction procedure. While recovering from one procedure, you can recover from the other.

Fraxel and liposuction

Fraxel and Liposuction
Fraxel's power allows it to penetrate into the deeper layer of the skin (reticular dermis) but it has no effect on the underlying fat layer which is where liposuction functions. Fraxel can be used in combination with liposuction as these two modalities work in completely different ways.
One work of caution is to be very careful when combining laser assisted liposuction (Smart or Slim liposuction) or ultrasound assisted liposuction (example: VASER) with Fraxel as this can overheat the...
