Is Liposuction Right for Me To Contour My Abdomen? (photo)

I am 19 and weight about 200 lbs. I have a thyroid problem and I have gone to numerous doctors and nutritionists and I work out everyday. I do not hate my body nor do I want liposuction to be used as a weight loss aid. I really want to know if it could help contour my body, namely my arms and my abdomen. I don't mind the size of my abdomen just the look it has. I just want to know if liposuction would help that.

A: Would liposuction be helpful?

I've done abdominoplasty in 19 yr olds before when the circumstances were similar to yours, and the results have been good.  You have ample abdominal wall to support future pregnancies, and only abdominoplasty, in my opinion, will remove enough skin, fat, and permit abdominal wall tightening enough to produce the result you're seeking:  A more trim, sexy abdomen.  Of course, you would be trading your current situation for a permanent lower abdominal scar, but it should be well concealed if the procedure is accomplished by a plastic surgeon adept in abdominoplasty.  The effect on future pregnancies is unknown, but based on available data, provided you've no other reproductive issues, you should be able to carry to term.

I Was Planning to Do Liposuction but I Have an Incomplete Right Bundle Block, Should I Postpone Surgery?

Hi I am young in mid 30s i was planning to have liposuction but found out i have incomplete right bundle block in ecg, doctor thinks its notihing but i see it contradicts with lidocain, my procedure was 120 minutes just local and needed advise. amount of fat predicted is 1.5 litres

A: Right bundle branch block

Any abnormality in the preoperative EKG should be evaluated by a cardiologist prior to proceeding with surgery. I also think that a board-certified anesthesiologist should be in charge of your intraoperative care during this procedure. Even if it's done under local anesthesia. This is, after all, elective surgery and should be done as safely as possible. Good luck
