I have fat necrosis from fertility treatments, would Smart Lipo be safe to do in this area?

Smart lipo is good for stubborn areas of fat, but lacks body contouring and shaping. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, if there is skin laxity. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear tinyt1978,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

An area of previous fat necrosis is reduced to scar tissue over time usually with a small degree of indentation. Liposuction through this area is not a problem. Future injections should be into non- scar tissue for best absorption. Smart lipo causes scarring in the fat layers consistently. Your fertility injections should be placed in an area where no lipo was done if feasible.
