Titanium clips might be an issue if you have an MRI, but you are safe for having liposuction with ultrasound or with laser-assisted (Slimlipo or Smartlipo) liposuction.
The operation is very safe and above the abdominal fascia so any surgey you had intra-abdominally would be unaffected. The ultrasound from the liposuction device only carries for a few millimeters around the cannula. You can feel confident that you can undergo the surgery without any problem from the titanium clips in your abdomen.
Ultrasonic liposuction uses a wand that vibrates the tip at very high frequencies causing cavitation locally. The effect ranges out only a few millimeters. Unlike an MRI, metal elsewhere in the body or even very close to the liposuction cannula tip will not have an affect on either the liposuction or the safety of the procedure.
Tubal ligation with titanium clips should not hinder you from having ultrasonic liposuction.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
You will be perfectly safe with ultrasonic liposuction. The effect is only a few mm around the tip of the cannula. No worry. My Best, Dr C

It's hard to give you an answer since I didn't do your surgery, but if you're concerned at all about your garment please go and see your plastic surgeon.

Finding a liposuction surgeon in Los Angeles will not be difficult. I would not make cost the primary determinant. Make sure that you select a board certified plastic surgeon performs several hundred procedures each year, has several hundred positive reviews, and has hundreds of...
I have all my patients wait 4 weeks before submerging in water, ponds, lakes, ocean etc. In my practice patients wear compression for 24/7 first 7 days then 12 hours the next 7-14 days. Some patients like to compress for weeks later, which wont hurt, but isn't necessary. I suggest going to a ...
