Question

i have had lipo 3 times in the past, but the last time left me with golf ball sized lumps on my lower back. i want to get a revision but heard you can't get lipo that many times

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you can get l iposuction numerous times if you have enough fat, but each time scar tissue builds up. I suggest you see an expert who is a specialist in body sculpting and revision procedures.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Lipo revision can only be performed properly with Vaser liposuction. Now having undergone 3 liposuction procedures is concerning. As such, you really need a physical examination from a Liposuction specialist to determine which procedure is the ideal choice for you. I also am worried that you may have lipomas becoming apparent now that the fat is gone. A skype/facetime consultation or more photos would be very helpful.Dr. Mowlavi
