Is it safe to have non-invasive laser lipo 8 weeks after breast augmentation?

Question

Hi there.... I am 8 weeks post BA, under muscle, surgery.... I am wondering if I could do non invasive lipo laser treatment- stomach areas, love handles etc...:) Could the laser harm in any way at this point?

Justin Yovino, MD, FACS · Answer

There is no problem with the timeline you asked about. Breast augmentation and laser liposuction are commonly performed together so waiting 8 weeks is definitely not an issue. Any time an implant is in place, the plastic surgeon must be meticulous about sculpting near the implant. I say this because I commonly sculpt the upper abdomen which is adjacent to the implant.  I also like to reshape the front bra roll and this also is near the implant.

Thanks for the question, having liposuction would be ok in terms of non invasive just make sure the implant is not involved in the treatment area

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, you may have liposuction at this time, but I would suggest waiting until you are 3 months from your first surgery to give your body more time to heal.  The laser can be safely done in someone who has implants.

Thanks for your question.  Most minimally invasive (or even invasive) procedures should be safe now at 8 weeks after your breast augmentation.  Make sure to check with your surgeon that you have his or her approval.

NEVER heard of "non invasive laser lipo"??? Do you mean SmartLipo?? Which is minimally invasive! Why not ask your augmentation surgeon if OK with him???
