Will Hidradenitis Suppurative affect my procedure for Liposuction or Brazilian Butt Lift? (photo)

I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa and it affects the areas between my breasts, under my stomach, and under my arms. I am scheduled to have aggressive upper body lipo in 5 months. My surgeon has said that it will not be a problem and I have had surgery before with no issues, but never liposuction. My HS does flare up sometimes but most often remains dormant. Will HS affect my healing? Will my surgeon not be able to lipo my armpits since it is affected by HS?

The redness of the skin is worrisome. It would be interesting to know if the liposuction you had was assisted by ultrasound or by the laser. The heat from these devices can damage the skin.

Basically the area below the gluteal crease on the back of the leg provides support for the buttock above and thus it should not be suctioned or else a contour deformity can occur. It is exceedingly difficult to fix as well. The reason this area bulges ("bannana roll") is usually due to weight...

The liposuction of the axilla seems to have left your skin loose - as it often will.Discuss your concerns with your surgeon, let six months pass before doing anything and thenyou will probably need to consider surgery to remove the excess skin.
