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

MzNewBooty85May 14, 2014

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.

I'm sorry that you have a contour issue after liposuction. The banana role is an area that should never have surgical intervention. Unfortunately now is difficult to re-create a distinction between your buttocks and thighs.Photos would be helpful.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

I can't really say for certain but it looks as though there is a problem with surplus skin. If this is the case the only solution would be to do and excision. However you're still fairly early on from the procedure so I would be patient.

Thank you for your pictures. I'm sorry that you're having an undesirable outcome. Unfortunately this will be done to help this issue. Little suction of the front of the legs should know to be done. It reduces the supportive legs and makes the skin being creepy. I wish I can offer you more but...
