Can you answer lizzabet1015’s question about Plastic Surgery?:

I have not had children yet, but I plan to have at least 2 kids a few years down the road. Based on experience is it better to wait to get Liposuction after the kids? Or does it work so that fat will not return to your stomach after you have lipo and after having kids? Anyone know for sure?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed to remove excess fat from beneath the skin. Although liposuction is not a form of weight loss, it is a way to change the shape and contour of your body. When done properly, it is an effective means of removing excess body fat in certain areas.

Even though almost everyone can have liposuction, the best candidates for this body contouring procedure are individuals who are normal or slightly over weight, with firm, elastic skin, have pockets of excess fat in areas of their body, psychologically stable, physically healthy, and people with realistic expectations.

Although age is not a large determining factor for whether you should have liposuction or not, someone who’s skin is not very elastic may have the same problems as someone with tight skin.

Liposuction is an excellent option if you have excess fat protruding from any area of your body. Your surgeon’s goal when performing liposuction procedures is to “create a smooth, even, proportionate distribution of the fat that is left behind, so that treated areas are in balance with adjacent untreated areas.”

The reason liposuction is such an appealing cosmetic procedure to so many people is because it is minimally invasive, it has proven results, and there is a fast recovery time. Also, it can be used on many different areas of the body so that you can get the results that you want. Your cosmetic surgeon will perform your liposuction procedure with your needs and goals in mind, not what is most convenient or easy.

In women, the most common procedures are the removal of excess fat from under the chin, arms, outer thighs, waist, hips, and stomach. Men, on the other hand, tend to have liposuction performed to reduce excess fat in their “love handles,” around the waist, enlarged male breasts, and under the chin.

There are three types of liposuction performed today:

· Traditional Liposuction

· Ultrasonic Liposuction (Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction or UAL)

· Tumescent Liposuction
