Hello I have a Titan implant and wanted abdominal liposuction. Any chance of infection or complications?

I’m interested to know as well- my guess would be to call your surgeon.

Always some risk of infection from any kind of surgery. As with implant choose a Dr that has a great track record and is a high volume in his craft. Definitely mention your implant , but if in the rare event you did get an infection there shouldn’t be much of a risk that it would or could spread to your implant. Dr can give you a better idea of the % of risk but I see no issue at all. I had a major fall into a hatch in my boat two weeks before my scheduled implant. Broke my arm, tore my biceps completely loose from upper bone, broke three ribs and tore 3 other rotator muscles. This required a very extensive surgery about 10 days before my implant. I asked both drs if it would be ok to go ahead w the implant, and both said it should be no issues at all except for the discomfort of the shoulder and positioning of my are in a sling during the implant. I went ahead with the implant and now 21 months later still no issues with either.

Thank you . Spoke to my implant surgeon and he was worried about infection to implant but can’t see how that’s possible

A good surgeon and facility keep infection rates to a minimum.

As a recipient of both liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck) my main concern would be edema. When guys get any abdominal surgery, the scrotum is the place it loves to collect. It's not a threatening complication, but it sure as hell is annoying.
