Can you have lipo done twice in the same area? Last one did roughly 4yrs ago.

Hi Birdie, generally speaking - yes, you can have lipo performed twice in the same area, but you need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heats the skin with radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF to heat the undersurface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction and can only be done by a well-trained body contouring specialist. At the same time, fat should be harvested and purified, with PRP and stem cells added, and then injected into muscles, indentations and cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. For a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), we inject the fat into the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with a combination of Cellfina, subcision, and/or fillers such as Bellafill, Renuva synthetic fat, or Sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery, then it will need to be removed: tummy tuck/abdominoplasty for lower abdominal skin; breast lift for excess breast skin; and/or a brachioplasty for loose arm skin.Overall, you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, thank you for your inquiry. Yes liposuction can be preformed twice in the same area preformed before, however it may be a bit more difficult to remove fat however it can be done, I suggest seeking board certified plastic surgeons for an in person evaluation. Good luck! 

Thank you for your question. I would consult with a plastic surgeon in person, but it is definitely possible to have revision liposuction to the same area. You might have residual scar tissue in the area but an examination in person would give you a more idea of what results you can expect. Good luck!Kamran Azad MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
