Liposuction After GLP-1: Assess Fat and Loose Skin

If you are considering liposuction after GLP-1 weight loss, ask the surgeon to assess the tissue you want changed.

Discuss healing and skin elasticity

ASPS lists firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone among candidate characteristics, along with health that permits healing and not smoking or vaping. Its candidate guidance calls the procedure highly individualized. [2]

Ask about the contour afterward

ASPS lists uneven contours, pigmentation changes, persistent sensation changes and rippling or loose skin among possible risks. Infection, poor healing, blood clots and heart or lung complications are also possible. Revision surgery may be needed. [3]
