Answer: Liposuction and Number of Treatments you can do liposuction as many times as you have fat to be removed. I would wait 6 months to consider a second treatment especially if an energy based device was done such as laser or ultrasound. Please get a VASER HI DEF procedure to get the most contour. Dr. Emer.

Answer: How often can you get liposuction? Liposuction is generally recommended to be performed with significant intervals, typically allowing the body to heal fully. It’s crucial to consult with a medical professional for recommendations, but waiting at least 6 months between procedures is a common guideline to ensure proper recovery.

Answer: Basim Matti FRCS Thanks for your question needlesandthread. Depending on what your surgeon has advised, there may be a possibility of having liposuction in combination with your tummy tuck surgery. While it is possible to have repeat Liposuction procedures, this can potentially increase the likelihood of lumps and uneven contouring in the treated areas, due to the development of scar tissue - which may make the surgery more complicated, and can produce unnatural results. After any procedure, I recommend you adhere to follow-up instructions on aftercare given to you by your surgeon (which may include wearing a compression garment), and allowing at least 60 days for the tissues to heal and the swelling to go down. This will allow you to accurately assess your liposuction results. As always, I also recommend consulting with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon before scheduling any surgery.

Answer: Offending fat can be removed as needed. The beauty of liposuction is that once fat is removed from an area, the manner in which fat is distributed in your body is changed for your lifetime. You have control of how much you weigh but you do not have control of how your fat is distributed except by liposuction. (Remember the vibrating belts that were popular in the 40’s? You may have seen photographs of women standing near a machine with a wide belt going around their buttocks with the machine jiggling the belt and therefore the buttock. You no longer see that device because it didn’t work.) Liposuction does work and it can be done as many times as is necessary to get the result that it is possible for you to get. Ideally one treatment would give you your best result possible, but due to the nature of the procedure, touch-ups may be needed and can be performed. Also, the standard liposuction without ultra-sound, laser, or high pressure water is effective without the added risk, pain, and expense of energized liposuction. Generally one should wait at least 4 months before you consider any further treatment since your result will continue to improve for at least that length of time.
