Can I get Liposuction after a laparoscopic nephrectomy?

Question

I have been considering liposuction for some years now, but didn't have the money. Now that I have the money, I recently found out I have a bad kidney ave have to get it removed! It's it ok to undergo another surgery once I'm all healed up?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Once you have healed from the surgery and are cleared by your kidney doctor, liposuction can be considered.  Liposuction may be reasonable, but a physical exam would be necessary to make this determination.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes liposuction is possible after having kidney surgery, usually 3-6 months after is best.  Dr. Emer.

William Andrade, MD · Answer

After you have fully healed from nephrectomy surgery it should be possible to consider liposuction.  You would want to have the go-ahead from both surgeons to make sure the abdomen is fully healed and there is no hernia at any of the laparoscopic incision sites, or other changes to the abdomen that would contraindicate liposuction surgery.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

I don't see any contraindication to doing liposuction after a laparoscopic nephrectomy. Many patients have elective liposuction after surgical procedures.

Ahmet R. Karaca, MD · Answer

Absolutely. There are no contraindications after most abdominal surgeries. Liposuction is a relatively safe procedure performed superficial to the muscles.
