Arm broken and healed naturally, will I be able to get lipo done to arms?

Question

5 years ago i was in a car wreck. I fractured my pelvis and broke my hips. It healed naturally. I also broke my arm. I didn't have surgery so it healed on its own leaving it to be a little crooked. I would like to have a tt bbl and lipo. Including lipo to my arms and inner thighs. Will i be able to get these procedures??

Thank you for your question -Lipo to your arm in the case of previous arm fracture shouldn't present you from getting a good result.  You should note that previous trauma can increase healing time especially if there was a vascular injury.  Make sure your plastic surgeon does a complete exam including a vascular and neuro exam.Good luck

This may not be an issue, but an exam would be necessary.Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Find a plastic    
surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision   
procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before
 and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the    
results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Thank you for the question.To best help you a physical evaluation has to be done in order to determine if the procedure can take place. I believe that the posibilities of achieving good results are good.

Your liposuction procedure should not make an old bone injury any better or worse.  If you are without symptoms there is no reason for you not to choose body contouring with liposuction.

The injury to your arm should not be any hindrance to getting liposuction that I can see, but always go over issues like this with your surgeon.
