Is it safe to get laser liposuction on my back where my spinal fusion is?

yes depending on what was done, I suggest going to an expert and someone who uses vaser as this area can have a lot of scar tissue and fibrosis post surgery. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear kayla043,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, rods and screws are placed under the muscle so they should not prevent you from getting liposuction. 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.

Without at least posting pictures it’s hard to tell if you’re a candidate for liposuction or not. Laser liposuction is simply regular liposuction with a secondary laser treatment done either before or after the actual Liposuction. It does not make the liposuction less invasive, lessen the pain or speed up the recovery. In fact it really doesn’t do a whole lot of anything.

Instead of trying to figure these things out on your own I suggest you simply have a few in person consultations well you can talk to plastic surgeons about treatment options.

Best,
