Vaser lipo in patietnt with hypothyroidism
Thank you for your question.
Underactive thyroid if controlled well should not be a contraindication to Vaser lipoplasty. However, people with hypothyroidism (myxoedema) can be prone to be puffyness and bloating due to fluid retention and surgery might make it more pronounced. Your doctor should be able to advise you in regards of these.
Suitability for vaser of any patient is evaluated by a Vaser surgeon. Your BMI will be a rough quide, skin laxity and muscle tone are also important...
