Question

Hi im 44 iI had hysterectomy 3 months ago is it OK to have wood therapy and laser lipo

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

If you had a total abdominal hysterectomy and then I suggest waiting at least six months. If the procedure was laparoscopic transvaginal then three months is sufficient.

Wood  therapy is not a medical treatment so I have no view on that one.

Each provider will have their own view on this. I suggest having multiple in person consultations with local parts and find plastic surgeon at which point you can share your medical history and get all your questions answered.

Best,

Hi and welcome to our forum!
In my practice, I recommend waiting 6 months after a previous hysterectomy before considering liposuction to allow for subsidence of the swelling associated with the healing process. The pelvic veins will have been traumatized by the previous surgery, and the risk of development of thrombophlebitis is increased. 
I would ask your gynecologist about any risks associated with wood therapy 3 months after hysterectomy.
Best wishes...
