I have had lipo on my calves 3x (different) over the past 15 years. My results have been very conservative each time. I questioned why this is and was recently told that I have lipedema on my calves. I am not overweight or unhealthy I just have 16 inch calves and I am only 5ft so this looks odd. I can still pinch at least a 1/2 of dense fat on my calves. Is liposuction an option again?
Answer: Repeat Lipo can be done but risk increases The calves and ankles are under the greatest fluid pressure in your body. The calves and ankle liposuction even one time is a bit more risky for complication than say the abdomen or flanks. With each surgery, there is some scarring and the chance of incomplete healing. Additional surgeries can be done, but the risk is slightly higher each additional time. You should only consider this surgery with a surgeon who is very experienced with calf and ankle liposuction and experienced with lipedema. Wishing you the best of health.

Answer: Calf liposuction Liposuction of the lower leg can be tricky and can take quite some time for the swelling to subside. Since you have had that area treated 3 times with liposuction, I would recommend no more surgery in that area. You don't want to damage your venous or lymphatic system further. You might want to consider some skin tightening with radiofrequency.

Answer: Can Lipo be done on the same area multiple times if many years have past between? Thanks for your question. Yes you can get liposuction done in the same areas that you treated previously as long as there is fat available. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Lipo Candidate - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra you may need more liposuction and specifically with energy based devices and proper Lipedema liposuction. you need an evaluation as sometimes this is skin that needs to be tightened along with the fat removal. If there is fat there, liposuction can be performed.
