There is no interference from laser liposuction with a pacemaker. You should be able to undergo the procedure and not worry about your pacemaker. Anyway just inform your surgeon that you have the pacemaker and he should re-assure you it is OK.
Thank you for asking this question. You should be able to have the procedure done. Make sure your surgeon is aware of your condition. Your surgeon may ask for medical clearance from your cardiologist. Best of luck to you!
I have never had an issue with doing liposuction on patients with a pacemaker as long as the liposuction is no performed over the pacemaker area. For best results with treatments like Smart Lipo, I recommend adding a combination of radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing in order to get the best results. However, for the best results with contouring and fat removal, I recommend VASER HI DEF, with ThermiRF and ultrasound. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

It's important to ask exactly what devices, if any, will be used during the liposuction procedure and to specifically list that you have a pacemaker when discussing lipo options with your surgeon.Hope that helps

With your pictures it is evident that you have significant irregularities and uneven skin and contour after your liposuction. Without an exam it is difficult to define whether the problem is incomplete and uneven fat removal, significant internal scar tissue, fluid build up (seromas) and...
