Number of Times You Can Get Liposuction. Is There a Limit?

Repeat liposuction in the same area is possible but each time you have liposuction your risk of uneven or irregular results increases.  "Touch-ups" are fairly common after liposuction but if you are repeatedly requesting liposuction in the same area then you may not be an ideal candidate for liposuction.

Liposuction is to smooth and shape the contours of the body.  It is not a form of weight loss.  If you are having liposuction multiple times then you should focus more attention on diet and exercise.

Liposuction can be repeated in the same area however this can considerably increase the chances of developing contour irregularities.  Generally speaking, the more liposuction a person has in the same area, the more likely the skin contour/texture can be lumpy and bumpy.  Scar tissue develops underneath the skin making future liposuction technically more difficult.  The skin becomes firmer and can take on an unnatural look with small dimples.

Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon before scheduling liposuction surgery.

Liposuction can be repeated on the same area, but over time scarring my make repeated treatments harder.  In fact, ultrasonic liposuction may be required to get through the scar tissue on areas previously treated with liposuction.
