One scar is from appendectomy, one from back surgery done through abdomen and one was a lipoma removal (on left saddlebag area). Could possible adhesions resulting from these surgeries interfere with liposuction success?

Answer: Liposuction and Abdominal Scars -- VASERLipo This is where I use vaser or smartlipo to break through the scars. People fear hernias however, they often are not damaged by liposuction (laser has more risk than the ultrasound). Properly performed tumescent technique can prevent any issues and this should not be problematic. If concerned, ultrasound can be performed prior to the procedure over the scar to ensure nothing is embedded in it. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Can liposuction be done in areas where scars exist from previous surgeries? In general, yes liposuction can be performed in areas of previous surgery. A thorough exam can help determine if there is significant scar tissue in these areas that may impact the ability to contour the region. Scar revisions or release may be needed.
