I went for a consultation and disclosed that I am currently taking the medication Prozac and Abilify. They said I need a medical clearance from the prescribing doctor in order to move forward. I do suffer from depression, however the weight I have gained from the medication is makes my condition worst. I had the surgery in the past on my lower abdomen about 11 years ago, however I was not on any medications at the time.

Answer: Can those with depression have lipo? It makes sense to have a depression specialist ensure that your depression is under control before embarking upon any type of cosmetic surgery to ensure that the stress of surgery will not cause your depression to spiral out of control. However, if you are stating that your depression meds are the cause of your weight gain AND you plan on staying on those meds, then perhaps lipo is not such a great idea. First, lipo is not a weight loss procedure. Second, you will continue to gain weight regardless of lipo. The best candidates for lipo are those who are weight stable and nonobese. You should ask your depression doctor to see if other meds can manage your depression without causing weight gain.
