How often can you get liposuction? (Photos)

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.

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.
