How safe is Lipo if I have mesh in my abdominal wall?

"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.

Since the procedure was performed laparoscopic, the mesh is placed behind your muscles inside the abdominal cavity. Liposuction is performed on the fat that is in front of the muscles. Therefore, you "should" be fine to have the procedure, however, your surgeon should carefully evaluate you to make certain you dont have any kind of recurrence of your hernia or hernias.

Hope that helps.

Surgical risk is generally a matter of degree rather than a binary proposition like "safe" or "not safe." The type of mesh you have, how much abdominal wall fat you're carrying and its distribution, your skin elasticity, how the procedure is technically performed, and other factors influence risk profile and outcome.
