Will abdominal liposuction affect insulin absorption from my insulin pump?

Asked By:mcx in Miami, FL

I am considering getting a BBL and I have type I diabetes. From my understanding, liposuction can cause scar formation of the fat tissue. Will this affect the ability of my abdominal tissue to absorb insulin from my pump? Will I have to find an alternate site?
