Hi, Is there any wait time for having body only Liposuction, after ptosis upper eyelid surgery? The liposuction is under *general* anesthetic, whereas the eyelid surgery was *local anesthetic* and completely different area. I plan to have the liposuction and breast fat transfer 1 week after ptosis surgery, to minimise downtime in total. Is tnis feasible? (Lipo is with breast fat transfer only, from:: inner thighs, abdomen, flanks, back)

Lipo 360 can be done in your abdomen and be successful. However, in your back, you will most likely have hanging skin. You may benefit from a butt lift or a back lift, depending on where most of the skin is coming from. In your case, it appears to be high so you may benefit from the back lift...
You have contour deformity from liposuction. This can be corrected by tracting it again with a liposuction cannula or adding fat to the area at the same time.
