Lipo after breast cancer/axillary node clearance surgery?

June 7, 2023
Asked By:savs_ldn in England, United Kingdom

I am now breast cancer free but had to have axillary node clearance in my left arm. Which is now at risk for lymphedeama etc. I want to have tumescent liposuction (awake) in my upper/lower abdomen, whole back and flanks/love handles. No lipo to my arms. Is this possible? Is there any risks having 360 lipo after lymph node removal? Will this affect my arm in anyway? Looking to lose some weight first before the surgery.
