How soon to have lipo repeated in a different area?

Question

If you just had your abdomen lipo how soon should you wait before getting lipo on your back?

David Hansen, MD · Answer

It is not uncommon to do 3 lipos on the same patient all within 1 week since they are so safe under tumescent local. The patients are able to stand up and move in all  positions to get the best results with the smaller cannulas. Recovery is faster and easier also. sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest waiting 3-6 months to see the ultimate results of your first procedure, however, if you are concerned or really want a second opinion see a body contouring specialist who specializes in hi definition abdominal liposuction.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

It's probably safe to do a second session of liposuction in a couple of days but most plastic surgeons would wait a few weeks.

Carmen Kavali, MD · Answer

Once you're well-recovered from your initial liposuction, you're fine to have more done in a different area.  This is assuming you had a small amount done initially--if you had 5 liters removed the first time, you may need to wait longer for a second procedure.

Henry Mentz, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for your question. I agree with Dr. Morgan. It can be done once the original liposuction treatment is healed. Please ask your surgeon. Best Wishes, Dr. Mentz
