What is the Difference Between Liposculpture and Liposuction?

Adverse Effects of Liposculpture on Pregnancy? This is a tough one! I had Liposculpture on 4/20/09 on my whole stomach area, upper and lower abdomen and my lower and middle back. Afterwards I had synergy massages, but had to stop because I just found out I am 7 weeks pregnant!
This is a big surprise. I got pregnant just shortly after the procedure. Does the fluid still in my body or the short time period between surgery and conception have any negative effects to the fetus? I am doing my research, please help!

A: Pregnancy Shortly After Surgery

Thank you for the question.

Since conception happened after the procedure I do not think you have much to worry about. The residual fluid and the possibility of a small amount of residual medication probably will be inconsequential.

Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy.

How Does Liposculpting Affect Stretch Marks? How does liposculpting affect stretch marks?

A: Liposuction and Stretch Marks?

Thank you for the question.

Liposuction surgery does not improve stretch marks; “deflating” the involved area of adipose tissue may actually make the stretch marks more visible.

Ideal candidates for liposuction surgery are patients who present with isolated, diet and exercise resistant, adipose tissue with good quality ( high elasticity) overlying skin.

Best wishes.

	“Looks Good at First....but Will Sag...” Had Liposculpture 5 years ago. I'm above average height, and skinny. I didn't want to lose weight, just have some of those nasty spots fixed.
