Liposuction
Arm broken and healed naturally, will I be able to get lipo done to arms?
Lipo to your arm in the case of previous arm fracture shouldn't present you from getting a good result. You should note that previous trauma can increase healing time especially if there was a vascular injury. Make sure your plastic surgeon does a complete exam including a vascular and neuro exam.
Clinical Context
After a fracture, most patients heal with normal circulation and nerve function, so liposuction is generally still an option. If the injury involved significant scarring, retained hardware, or a difficult recovery, the tissue in that area may be firmer or more attached to underlying structures, which can affect how evenly fat is removed and how the skin settles afterward. Your surgeon can evaluate this at your consultation and adjust technique if needed.
