Can I have lipo done on my stomach with fibroids?

Fibroids of the uterus do not necessarily present an issue to liposuction; as the lipo is not performed at the same level as the fibroids. Consult via Skype or email with a board certified PS in your geographical area.

internal fibroids do not affect liposuction. however DO NEED hormonal optimization (see link)
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.

Dear vicky2,
if you fibroids are locatedin uterus, you can get a 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, fibroids are deep below the muscle in the uterus, liposuction is done above the muscle wall in the fatty layer under the skin. They are in completely different areas and liposuction is not affected by it at all. Best of luck! Dr. Boschert

I’m going to guess you’re referring to uterine fibroids.

If that’s the case the status of uterus is irrelevant to having Liposuction.

Best,
