Can I get liposuction more than once? (Photo)

Question

I got liposuction on my stomach over a year ago and I would like to get another round of liposuction aswell as butt implants, I'm really looking for a tiny waist and nice big round butt. I am happy with my body now.. however, I would really like to enhance it. I uploaded a picture of what I am seeking and what I currently look like.

Dear Natali3m,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to do a revision liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

yes you can do implants and get liposuction more than once. do implants AFTER you get all the fat for BBL.

my whole practice is doing lipoabdominoplasty, or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring).

the smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after).

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

The photo you show is not realistic, especially for you. If you have some residual fat or areas not treated, you could meet with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussed what realistically could be done.

Secondary Liposuction will not leave as much of a result as the first time around. This is especially true for thin people.  there’s always a chance of developing Contouring regularities from liposuction depending on who does the procedure.  for that reason someone who is already happy with their body should consider not having more liposuction.  based on your picture I don’t think it’s going to bring in your waist much more.

I don’t do gluteal implants so you’ll need to talk to plastic surgeons I do that procedure.

Gluteal implants is not performed by the majority of plastic surgeons to the United States. There’s a reason we don’t do them.

Best,
