A person with Addison's disease can have liposuction provided that the disease is well controlled and clearance is given by the managing endocrinologist. The anesthesiologist and surgeon will have to be made aware of this to allow for stress dose steroids, and the healing will be compromised to some extent.

you can have liposuction as long as you have medical clearance. 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.

Hello and thank you for your question. As long as your medical condition is being treated and is stable, you should be fine having the surgery. You will likely need a clearance from your endocrinologist. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.

Dear kaital,Thank you for your question. As long as an appropriate medical work-up is performed, liposuction can be safely performed. You may need stress doses of various hormones but that can be managed by working closely with your endocrinologist.Good luck,Nirmal R.

Dear kaitlal, if you get a clearance from your doctor, then a surgery might be an option.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. Daniel Barrett, MD
