Is there a risk to lipo an area that has an existing tattoo?

February 8, 2021
Asked By:Lanabananaz in Washington DC, DC

I recently heard that tattoos may cause issues if the same area is liposuctioned. I have a back piece and want to get a BBL procedure which would include liposuction on my back. A doctor indicated that they would have to be very careful and not as aggressive on my tattooed area. Is this true?
