Question

Hey doctors I had abdomen lipo about a month ago and found out I need internal laproscopic surgery to fix an issue I'm having. Will 2 months out from lipo and need surgery will it ruin my results from liposuction?

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

Laparoscopic surgery post liposuction is unlikely to affect or compromise your aesthetic result. Laparoscopic surgery is typically performed through a series of small stab incisions (for port access). Other than these small incisions, there is very little to fear with regards to your ultimate aesthetic result.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes!

Gerard.   Laparoscopic surgery usually means access to the area needing surgery through 2 or 3 small incisions where general surgeons operate using laparoscopy uquipment. It was designed to minimize scarring with better access and less trauma.  Your liposuction results should not be affected, but check in with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Laparoscopy will not affect the results of liposuction. You may have a couple of small incisions, and resulting scars. If the scars are placed in the direction of relaxed skin tension lines ( ask the doctor doing the laparoscopic surgery about this), they will heal better. Good luck with the procedure!

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well... You will get some little incisions that depending on your healing process can heal good or not, you can also have the marks.. but you should consult first with your surgeon to see what other option you have,...

Deborah Ekstrom, MD · Answer

It is unlikely to be a problem in any significant way for your liposuction result. You will have some small scars where the incisions are made and usually these heal fine.  Good luck with your procedures.
