Is There A Fear Of Cancer Recurrence With Liposuction?

I had ovarian cancer two years ago (stage 1a) and had a complete bilateral oophorectomy and omentectomy. I was left with a tucked under scare and a resulting apron looking tummy. I want to have a tummy tuck and lipo. Is there any link between invasive trauma such as lipo and cancer recurrence?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Liposuction is a safe procedure that helps in taking out the excess body fat under medical supervision. It is involving the suction of fat from the upper layers of the body and does not involve fat inside the abdomen. If you have been treated for ovary cancer stage Ia and got operated then there is no increased risk of disease recurrence due to liposuction. You must continue to get regular health check done as in any other cancer patient. However liposuction will not cause any added risk to your disease recurrence. Please maintain your general health by taking nutritious diet and healthy amounts of fruits and vegetables containing anti oxidant. Please do not worry.
