31year old, white, female, 5’3 140lbs I’m wondering how long I should wait to get a tattoo following a laser lipo treatment on the same area (leg)
Answer: Waiting time 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.

Answer: Wait at least 6 -8 weeks after Lipo 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. If you post operative course is uneventful, I would recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks to allow the area to heal before getting a tattoo. Wishing you the best of health, Dr Wright

Answer: tattooing after liposuction There’s no particular set time. They are you will probably be tender and uncomfortable for the first few weeks. Each individual surgeon and tattoo artist may have their own unique preference so I suggest you ask them. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Answer: How long should one wait after laser liposuction before applying a tattoo to the same area Hi and welcome to our forum! If one waits 6 weeks or so after the liposuction, the infection risk will have subsided. There may some residual swelling which may result in some slight distortions as the swelling totally abates (6 months or so), but it should be minimal. Best wishes...
