Thigh liposuction for paraplegic?

You should be able to have liposuction. Your surgeon may want you on something like Lovenox postop for a short time.

Without seeing pictures, we can’t begin to make an assessment. We don’t know if you’re a candidate for liposuction of your lower extremities. Lower extremity liposuction is technically difficult in the procedure often does not give the results patience and hope for. It is not a straightforward, easy procedure and provider selection is absolutely paramount, and not ending up with regret from Liposuction.
It’s possible to do cosmetic surgery on people with paraplegia.
It usually requires getting clearance and as your surgeon has mentioned having anesthesiologist talk to the patient before the scheduled procedure.
Still, it needs to be a clear reason for having liposuction where the procedure is justified and the risk reward ratio is on the healthy side.
