I'm going to have knee surgery, and will be off work for up to 12 weeks, can I have my surgery during or close in time frame of each other?
Answer: Liposuction and Knee Surgery I would wait to have an elective procedure like liposuction until you are healed from the joint surgery . You also put the joint at more risk for infection and potential blood clots. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Liposuction after knee arthroscopy Liposuction shouldn't preclude a patient from having an arthroscopy or vice versa generally. However, it is important to speak to both doctors about their recommendations for the timing of the procedures and any increased risks.

Answer: Combination surgery You would first need to discuss that with your orthopedic surgeon, and then discuss it with your plastic surgeon. It will also depend upon how many areas you wanted treated and the amount of fat to be removed. If you want liposuction around your knees, it would not be advisable due to swelling.
