Liposuction for the knees and varicose veins?

Question

I was wondering if I can get liposuction of my knees if I had varicose veins treatment on a side of my knee like 10 years ago and I think it was laser surgery. Basically, I`m trying to find out if it`s safe to have this procedure with varicose. Thanks

That procedure by itself that long ago should not prevent you from having liposuction of that area at this point.

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

Your previous varicose vein treatment does not preclude you from having liposuction on the knees. I have safely performed sclerotherapy and liposuction on the same patient many times. Nevertheless, it’s always important to inform your dermatologic surgeon about prior procedures. You may also want to consider noninvasive fat-elimination techniques, such as Vanquish, CoolSculpting and ThermiTight. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert with liposuction and other body-contouring techniques.

Yes, it should be safe to have liposuction of your knees 10 years after having had varicose vein treatment there. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who discuss your goals, examine you, and can show you before/after pictures so that you can see what type of results you can expect to get. Good luck!

With endovenous varicose vein therapy you should be fine to have liposuction especially since the first procedure was so long ago.

Thank you for  your question, varicose treatments do not interfere with liposuction, specially after ten years.  Oh course share your history with your doctor and always seek the opinion of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
