Is It Safe to Have Smart Lipo on Your Abdomen with a Mirena IUD in Place?

September 13, 2011
Asked By:LaurieKay1 in Topeka, KS

Within hours after my treatment I developed a dark red discoloration on my abs with the majority of the redness being right below/inside of my belly button. I've contacted drug info, Bayer, and even asked my plastic surgeon and no one has answers. Could the laser have caused my IUD to heat up and release tons of hormones, causing these red spots on my tummy, like how pregnant people get hormonal spots?
