yes those with EDS can have liposuction.You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Dear AnneHammond,you will need a clearance from your doctor. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Your question is fairly complex.Your condition has impact on many organ systems. Depending on your age this does include the risk of aortic aneurysm‘s and things of that nature. Because these can be life-threatening these need to be assessed before having things that could cause temporary changes in blood pressure like surgery.This condition also causes skin laxity which tends to be one of the primary reasons people are not good Candidates for liposuction.I suggest talking to your primary care doctor or if you have a specialty Doctor Who you see for your disorder as well as a few local plastic surgeons.Whether it’s safe to move forward or any precautions need to be taken before elective surgery is not really so much up to the plastic surgeons. It is up to the plastic surgeon to determine if you’re a good candidate for liposuction and this clued’s skin assessments fat distribution etc.You need to input from different physicians in order Make an informed decision if this makes sense.Board-certified plastic surgeons have many years of training and have seen a little bit of everything by the time we’re done and have been in practice for a while. make sure you consult with people who have appropriate training. there are physicians out there offering liposuction who don’t even know what Ehlers Danlos is. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
