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: Repeated liposcution on the abdomen (tummy) Yes, liposuction can be repeated on certain areas if there is residual fat and a reasonable superficial fatty layer to prevent cutaneous adhesions to the underlying musculoskeletal structures. I have had occasion to repeat liposuction on the abdomen with acceptable results.
