Dear Vivid752151,you should be fully healed prior to other procedures. I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Vivid, There is a good deal of healing going on following liposuction.There is a temporary disruption of your lymphatics and an increased risk of infection in the tissue that has had the surgery.
