Is VASER lipo safe in people with Eczema?

Hi there- As long as your eczema is under reasonable control, and as long as there weren't any actively inflamed skin lesions in areas where skin port incisions were planned, I would not think there is any reason VASER lipo would not be available to you. As with any other procedure and preoperative condition, we would want to make sure the conditions were optimal prior to surgery, so a visit to your dermatologist would be wise.

First, you need to discuss this with the dermatologist who treats you for eczema. It is rather unlikely that there would be any problems as long as your dermatologist feels the eczema is well-controlled and gives you the green light.
