I had Lipo 20 years ago and sadly could benefit from having it re-done. London clinics are saying I am not suitable because I have had it done previously. They speak of not going over another surgeons work even though he has long since retired and also scar tissue concerns. They scars are barely visiable - being only tiny nicks, is this the scar tissue they refer to? Why is it such a problem?

Answer: Repeat liposuction 20 years after the first liposuction The ideal candidate is young (good skin elasticity), never been pregnant (good skin elasticity) and not significantly over weight. Do you have smooth skin? If there are contour irregularities as a result of the first liposuction, further liposuction may not correct the deformity or could make it worse. Do you have skin laxity? Liposuction will not tighten loose skin. Are you significantly over weight? The skin may not contract sufficiently if large volume is aspirated. If you are in good health there is no absolute contraindication to having liposuction 20 years after the first liposuction. However, the changes that occur with ageing can affect outcome and the results are less predictable.
