Is it safe to have Lipo if a person has hyperthyroidism?

Bright3211I appreciate your concern, however as long as your thyroid levels are maintained to within normal limits with the help Of medication, there should be no contraindication to liposuction. However your surgeon most likely it will require medical clearance from your primary care physician or endocrinologist. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss your medical history in detail. Good luck.

As long as your thyroid levels are normal and you're cleared by your endocrinologist, you should be good getting liposuction.  Depending upon how many areas you'd like treated, liposuction can safely be done in the hospital or outpatient surgery center.  Sometimes an overnight stay is required when more than 5 liters of fat are removed.  Recovery takes 5-7 days and this also depends upon how many areas are treated.  Liposuction can be done on the neck, chest, abdomen, love handles, upper back/bra areas, and the thighs.
Thank you for your question!
