Will herpes stop you from getting liposuction?

You can have liposuction, if you have herpes. Valtrex may be recommended pre and post-operatively. For best results with liposuction, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Herpes is not a contraindication to liposuction. However, an active infection or flare is a reason to delay surgery and seek treatment.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
