I had a traditional liposuction 5 years ago on my tummy. I want to know if I can have the traditional liposcuction again to the same area since it already has been done?

Answer: Liposuction repeated in the same area Liposuction can be performed more than once in the same area provided the overlying skin is of good elasticity and there is sufficient fat to be removed. The risk however of developing contour irregularities (lumpy/uneven texture) of the skin is greater when liposuction is done in the same area. There is more scar tissue and it can technically be more difficult to perform. Also, the swelling tends to last longer compared to a first-time liposuction procedure.

Answer: Newer techniques have come out since your 1st liposuction Liposuction can be done as often as you need it. The newer techniques with the micro canulas and being done under local anesthesia make it an easy procedure with great results and quick recovery at a cost of roughly $5000 for the tummy.
