Question

I had a stoma last year due to perforated bowel, but Allgood now and reconnect with no stoma. Would I be able to have Lipo on my stomach and love handles even though I had a stoma?

Thank you for your question. Yes, liposuction can be performed on your abdomen after a colostomy reversal. You are likely to have some scar tissue in the area that can make the procedure a little more challenging, but in the hands of an experienced surgeon, you should do just fine. Best wishes,
