Can chin lipo be performed on someone with keloids ?

I have successfully performed liposuction on many patients with keloids, although it is unpredictable if any surgery/trauma can cause an additional keloid at the site of entrance for the liposuction.  My suggestion would be to see someone with experience in liposuction and lasers, who also treats keloids and scars.  I would used pulsed dye laser over the scar 2-3 weeks after liposuction to prevent any keloid from forming.  Nobody can answer this for you with certainty.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your
question. While the simple answer is yes, dealing with keloids can be a
difficult problem and can occur with any trauma or scar on your skin, as you
probably know. I have been involved in keloid research for many years and
although there is some very promising new treatments out there, I would
strongly suggest that you consult with a board-certified dermatologist or
plastic surgeon and make sure they are well versed not only in liposuction but
also in dealing with keloids. It would also seem prudent to deal with the
keloids as if you are going to want to contour your neck, you do not want
keloids obstructing the new you.
