I've lost 30kgs and had Tummy Tuck surgery 12 months ago. I also had knee surgery 7 months ago. Will the knee surgery affect the Liposuction on the thighs? Thanks.

Answer: Precautions with liposuction following knee surgery The knee surgery itiself if the scar is located over the "knee cap", should not interfere with the mechanical performance of liposuction. However, you may experience prologned swelling due to surgical scarring of the veins and could place you at higher risk for a blood clot of the calf veins. Preventative measures should be used in any prolonged surgery or for prolonged immobilization under general anesthesia.

Answer: Liposuction and Previous Knee Surgery Liposuction will not affect the inner knee but is associated with swelling which is treated with compression garments. The swelling may be greater based on the location and the length of the knee surgery incisions. But there is no reason why you could not have liposuction.
