How soon after my 1st Covid vaccine can I undergo liposuction surgery?

Question

how soon after my 1st covid vaccine shot can i undergo liposuction surgery? My second one will be after nearly 3 months. Or should I simply wait until iam done with both doses? I am a 45 yrs old woman, otherwise healthy with no underlying conditions. I hope i will not face any problems.

you can get liposution with or without the vaccine. the vaccine has no effect on the treatment or the post treatment care.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi, thanks for your question. Every surgeon/clinic will have their own guidelines as to whether you need to be fully vaccinated before your surgery, so you'll need to speak to your surgeon about their covid protocols. That said you can have your liposuction surgery at any time following your covid vaccine. As long as you're feeling well following your vaccine there is no need to postpone your surgery. It is totally safe to have surgery following your vaccine. Please speak to your surgeon if you have any further concerns.

I encourage you to discuss this with your surgeon as opinions may vary.  While you may be able to have surgery without the vaccine, some surgery centers and hospitals may have preoperative requirements for those that are not fully vaccinated.  Your surgeon will be able to advise you further.

Dear abcd_xyz,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Your second vaccine should be in about a month after your first. You should wait until at least 4-6 weeks from your final vaccination before having surgery. You need for for immune system to completely recover. This is for any vaccine.
