Still healing 6 months after Smart Lipo. Could I have surgery again?

Question

I've had smartlipo and is still healing its been 6 months and is it possible to do surgery again.

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

Complete healing from lipo takes 6-12 months. However, whether the area in question would benefit from repeat lipo or something else depends upon what the area looks like and what your goals are. Share a photo or schedule a virtual consultation for a more meaningful answer.

Thank you for your question. There are individual differences in recovery following Smart Lipo, with some patients needing more time to heal than others. Most patients can return to work in two to four days and resume intense activities like exercise in one to two weeks. However, fully recovering and obtaining the desired outcomes may take up to a year. You must speak with your surgeon if, six months after your Smart Lipo treatment, you are still having problems with recovery to evaluate your present state and decide if you should have another procedure or not. It's important to adhere to your surgeon's instructions to maximize results and reduce the chance of complications.
