Can I have liposuction while menstruating?

Question

I am scheduled to have liposuction in 7 days and period just came on , will this affect my procedure??

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Menstruation doesn't affect liposuction or its outcomes. I suggest you see an expert for treatment options.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

From all your postings appears you need an in person preoperative visit with your chosen operative surgeon to obtain answers to ALL your questions and issues. I would recommend this preoperative reassessment in your case since you are so unclear about this liposuction surgery.

Michael S. Birndorf, MD · Answer

No, this would not be a problem.  You should be allowed to wear a tampon or other internal protection during the procedure.

Anup Dhir, MD · Answer

Hello. No, it should not be a problem. If the liposuction is being done in the thigh area, wear a tampon.

Michael L. Workman, MD (retired) · Answer

Menstruating before or during liposuction should not have any effect on your procedure.  If you are still menstruating at the time of the procedure, be sure to use an internal product such as a tampon or diva cup.  Good luck with your procedure.
