Can I get lipo on areas treated with Qwo?

Question

Ive had lipo on my thighs and qwo for cellulite, but since i have lipedema there is more fat i would like to remove, is that possible now that theyve been treated with qwo? Will it alter the outcome?

Thomas Wright, MD · Answer

Qwo is a collagenase injection that can help with cellulite bands. Lipedema can still be successfully treated by lipedema reduction surgery, a surgery that is a modification of liposuction to address lipedema. Please know that lipedema is a disease that must be treated comprehensively with diet, compression and surgery.  Wishing you the best of health,

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

yes liposuction can be done on patients with lipedema but often it is needed with internal heating like renuvion, fat grafting and cellfina at same time. I suggest seeing an expert. QWO is used as last option maintenance in these cases.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear K.angel,
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.

Each provider will have their own view on this. A typical response may be asking patients to wait 3 to 6 months to let any scar tissue mature before doing liposuction.

Secondary Liposuction often does not deliver results that are as impressive as primary procedures.

Each provider will have their own view and I suggest having in person consultations to learn firsthand.

Best,
