Will laproscopic abdomen surgery ruin lipo results?

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,...

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.

A laparoscopic procedure will likely leave a few small incisions on the abdomen.  It should not alter your results in any significant way.  Best of luck.

John P. Stratis, MD · Answer

You should be fine at that point. There is very little you can do to "ruin" the lipo except eat too much, wheara tight band that will cause a permanent indent or fail to massage uneven spots.

Elan B. Singer, MD · Answer

Probably not.  You will have a few small scars from the laparoscopic access sites but the actual surgery should not affect your liposuction results.  Laparoscopic surgery is generally performed within the abdomen and liposuction is performed by removing fat outside of the abdomen (above the abdominal wall).  Good luck!
