I've had 360 abdomen liposuction twice before. I wasn't able to maintain the results and gained the weight back. I was wondering if I can try again for the third and final time or would you advise against it? I wasn't sure if there were any risks I should be aware of like scar tissue. Thank you.

Answer: Yes but... This is a bit unusual that you gained the weight back. The reason is, is that when we remove those fat cells (adipocytes) from liposuction, you can never deposit fat again in that same area. Did you gain the weight back in the same area or a different area? If you gained the weight back in the same area, then most likely you had an incomplete liposuction procedure and some fat cells were left behind. If there is fat tissue present, we can always do more liposuction. The risk does increase with the presence of scar tissue. Your safety is our #1 priority in your surgery journey. We take great care to plan the liposuction, examining the specific areas that have been previously treated, and making a careful analysis of where we will remove fat tissue from. You can definitely have the procedure again.

Answer: Repeat liposuction With each liposuction, there is new fibrosis (scar tissue). When you gain weight post liposuction, the fat may be distributed more unevenly or lumpy. Removing the fat is more difficult with each liposuction due to this fibrosis. A healthy lifestyle is very important in maintaining your results.
