When I see stretch marks it is a concern that the skin will notshrink back after liposuction and it may be loose and hang afterwards.However it doesn’t make you a bad candidatefor liposuction.The amount of fat to beremoved and the amount of skin you have hanging prior to surgery will determineif you’re a good or bad candidate for liposuction.If you do not have any skin hanging prior tothe liposuction, you may be okay.If youhave pre-existing hanging skin, then it may get worse with liposuction.It is best to see a Plastic Surgeon for morespecific questions.
Without photos- and the benefit of physical exam- it's difficult to comment accurately. Stretch mark are a permanent damage to the dermis. There is no surgical way to treat this short of surgical excision for example if they are in the area of a tummy tuck. To answer your question- stretch mark per se- are not a contra indication to liposuction. There are more important elements to consider with respect to liposuction. These will be discussed at your physical exam.
Stretchmarks are simply small scars in your skin. Stretch marks won’t stop you fromgetting lipo and surgeons don’t consider them when deciding if someone is agood candidate for lipo. Surgeons identify ideal candidates based on theirhealth and weight, not the appearance of their skin. Because lipo is a bodycontouring procedure to remove stubborn fat deposits, the best candidates arewithin 30 percent of their target weight and have firm, tight skin because lipowon’t improve loose or sagging skin. You may with to fine-tune your resultswith a nonsurgical treatment like Exilis™, which can tighten and tone the skin.
No you still can have lipo done.when you lipo you will have additional loose skin and how will it contact?how much fat needs to be removed?These are questions your plastic surgeon can answer.
Stretch marks are tears of the underside of your skin (dermis) resulting from stretch. Because of this, it is very difficult to improve their appearance. Liposuction is used to contour the body and remove fat deposits. Most liposuction techniques do minimal effect to the skin, so the stetch marks likely wont be changed. But you could have more excess skin in that location if you already have some there. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help answer all of these questions.
The presence of stretch marks doesn't disqualify you from liposuction. The primary consideration is whether you have localized fat deposition that would benefit from liposuction. In someone who is older and has thinned skin from stretch marks, aging, or post-menopause status then having poor quality skin may impact how well the treated area looks after liposuction. In my experience, it's not as likely to be a problem in a 21-year-old. The best way to find out is to have a consultation with a very experienced physician who can examine you and give you advice.
Thank you for your question. Just because you have stretch marks on an area of potential liposuction does not mean you are a bad candidate. Your concern is probably that the skin is not of good quality and may appear more loose following liposuction. Although this is a concern, the appearance of excess skin following liposuction is always a concern regardless of the presence of stretch marks. I suggest an in person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon to give you an answer based on an examination. Best wishes!
I agree with Dr BlinskiYou can have suction of love handles. The stretch marks will not be worse or better
Liposuction no matter the type will NOT effect the appearance of your stretch marks.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
