Is it possible to perform Vaser Lipo in the same area twice?

Question

In the event of weight gain can I have my abdomen treated with Vaser again if I have used the same treatment in the same area before?

Ozge Ergun, MD · Answer

A vaser liposuction can be done a second time. You did not mention when you did it but you should wait one year before you are doing a second liposuction.Pls consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Liposuction results are generally
permanent. However, if the patient gains a large amount of weight in the
future, the area of liposuction will also gain fat but to a lesser degree.
Please take note that with massive weight gain, #rippling may occur. Patients should be aware that liposuction is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight loss option and does not increase metabolic rate as well. The standard diet and exercise strategy is still recommended for maintaining good #results of liposuction.
Regarding #revisions,
it may be repeated in some cases, but it is best to wait up to 12
months before undergoing another procedure. You should see a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience on revisions.I hope your concern was addressed.

Possible, yes. Advisable, no. In the event of weight gain, you should look into diet and exercise to enable weight loss. Liposuction is not appropriate for weight loss.
