Can I have a second lipo procedure in the same area? 24 years p.o.

DoriaL,yes, you can get another liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Yes, you can have liposuction again, if you're a candidate. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like a VASER liposuction revision. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, you can have lipo in the same area, but the amount of fat that can be recovered is variable, depending on the amount of fibrosis (scar tissue) that has occurred in the fat layer after the original procedure. Secondary lipo procedures are often more difficult due to this gritty, fibrous replacement of some of the fat, but it is often difficult to know how much will be encountered even on physical exam. You need to set your expectations moderately but most patients who undergo secondary lipo years later will still get improvement from that second procedure.

Yes you can have liposuction in the same area. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or Facetime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
