Can smart lipo mess up my breast augmentation?

Question

At six to seven weeks post op from breast implants undertake muscle can my smart lip mess up my implants or am I just being paranoid?

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello,I assume you are not getting your breasts liposuctioned, so it shouldn't 'mess up' your augmentation results. A word about Smart lipo.  Laser assisted liposuction can not do anything different or better than what regular liposuction can do.  It is really is a surgeon's preference, so don't pay more for it.  What does make a difference is surgeon skill and experience.Best of luck!

Thomas A. Pane, MD · Answer

You are far enough out from the first surgery so there should be no problems with liposuction.  The team should carefully pad the chest if you are placed face down during the procedure.

William R. Burden, MD, FACS · Answer

Smart Lipo can be safely performed following recovery from Breast augmentation.  Your surgeon should make accommodations to protect your implants as needed.

Arthur Dean Jabs, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

If I understand your question correctly you are considering SmartLipo 7 weeks after an augmentation. There should be no problem as they are not related. You will want to be sure if you are positioned in the prone (face down) position you are adequately padded.Best of LuckDr. JA. Dean Jabs M.D. Ph.D. FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Suzanne M. Quardt, MD · Answer

Any form of liposuction, including SmartLipo, can damage your breast
augmentation if the cannula hits the implant during the procedure; however,
this is unlikely especially as your SmartLipo is presumably not targeting your
breasts or chest area.I would recommend
that you discuss this possibility with your Board Certified plastic surgeon to
ensure that he or she is aware that you have breast implants and can take steps
to minimize the potential for rupture or other complication.
