Is it possible to get liposuction if you have gallstones or gallbladder problems?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, as long as you are cleared by your Doctor, you may have liposuction if you have gallstones. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.
Yes, it is possible to have Liposuction if you have or have had gallstones or other gall bladder problems that do not need surgery by themselves. If, however, you need surgical treatment for your gall bladder problems you should have that taken care of first. All The Best !

Liposuction does not affect what's inside the abdomen (such as gallstones), so as long as you are healthy, there's little connection in my experience.

The liposuction could be performed with medical clearance. However, I would address the gallbladder problems first; and if a cholecystectomy is required, wait 6 weeks to 3 months to have the liposuction performed.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

It is possible to have liposuction, and other elective cosmetic procedures, if you have gallstones, but we want to make sure that you are not having any active issues such as pain or inflammation of the gallbladder. As with all medical conditions, it is essential that they are optimally treated to avoid complications from elective cosmetic surgery.
