Can I have Liposuction for my stomach if I have fibroids?

Liposuction and liposculpture only affect the superficial fat layer in the areas treated. Because the procedure is limited to the layers of fat underneath the skin and does not affect underlying organs, the presence of fibroids would not interfere with the procedure, nor would they be affected by it. Feel free to consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out how liposculpture can help reshape your body.

Since liposuction is performed in the area between the skin and the muscles of your trunk, it is not a problem if you have fibroids, which are internal.

Thank you for your question. Yes, the fibroids are under the abdominal muscles, and the fat targeted is above the abdominal muscles. I hope this helps!

Yes, patients with fibroids should be able to undergo liposuction. Liposuction is done above the muscle (in the fat layer of the skin) and fibroids are below the muscle and would not interfere. If you are concerned, consult with both your gynecologist and board-certified dermatologist to determine if liposuction is the appropriate treatment for you. 

You should have absolutely no problems with undergoing lipo of the abdomen if you have fibroids. You need to make sure that your blood count is within normal limits prior to your lipo. Good luck
