Why can't liposuction be re-done after 20 years?

October 14, 2014
Asked By:Dawn Pollitt in Guildford, AU

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?
