Smart Lipo for patient with history of cancer?
I am considering the Smart Lipo procedure but I am a breast cancer survivor (2 years) and I'm concerned of any complications due to my medical history. I am 150% fine now--clean bill of health. My doctor calls me his super woman patient. I am an active person but have slight cellulite and now a small abdomen pouch. I am 40 years old. I would appreciate feedback. My second concern is the cost of everything and or how many different areas would or should be done.

A: Smart Lipo and Breast Cancer
Congratulations on your good health and prognosis. Neither liposuction nor Smart Lipo should have any adverse affect on you recovery from breast cancer. If your doctor says that you are in good health and can undergo surgery, go ahead with the lipo to feel good about yourself. Best of luck!
