I do not know of any reasons why having your thyroid removed would prevent you from being able to undergo liposuction surgery. You need to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and determine if there are any other reasons why you would not be a good candidate. Hypothyroid conditions are very common and I have never seen a patient have a complication with liposuction as a result of their thyroid hormone levels.
If your metabolic situation is stabilized after thyroidectomy there is no contraindication to liposuction.
Liposuction can be performed in a patient who has had thyroidectomy, provided that thyroid hormone levels have been normalized.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
A Thyroidectomy is in no way, by itself, a contraindication to liposuction. A consult with a board certified plastic surgeon will help you know the rest about whether or not you are a good candidate for liposuction.Best,Dr. Pyle
As long as your thyroid hormone level is being regulated medically I can see no reason why going ahead with liposuction wouldn't be safe and effective.
