I Want to Have a Baby Next Year but I Want Smart Lipo This Year. Should I Wait Til After?

Since I was in the 9th grade I have had a belly. Im now 22 and I have tried everything to get rid if it.. I HATE THIS BELLY!! I'm turning 23 in August n I want to look fab,so I was thinking of smartlipo. I havnt worn a bikini since I was 12, n now that I'm grown I would like to feel sexy and confident n whatever I wear. But I am engaged n I do want kids. Can I do the smartlipo and still have a baby n a year or two?

A: Body Contouring options

Hi there-

While Smart Lipo would not be my first choice for your abdomen (higher risks of rippling and waviness, and a greater risk of injury to blood vessels and nerves without measurable benefit over safer alternatives), there should not be a reason that you could not pursue a body contouring procedure and still become pregnant next year.

On the other hand, if you are really planning to become pregnant that soon, I would probably advise that you consider an option that is less invasive, in the interest of more closely pairing the intervention, its risks, its recovery, and its outcome with the length of time you will likely be able to benefit from it.

It somehow doesn't make a lot of sense to go through an operation, recovery, etc, for only a year of benefit- especially if you could be just as happy without surgery.

I would consider Coolsculpting- but first you need to find out if you are a candidate for it. The best way to proceed is to find a good surgeon Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery who offers both state-of-the-art body contouring procedures and Coolsculpting and visit for a consultation.

Good luck.

I Want to Get Smartlipo Triplex but Prefer General Anesthetic Instead of Local, Can I?

I have high blood pressure when I get nervous so im going to get really nervous with local anesthetic, can I tell the dr. to perform the smartlipo triplex on my tummy and double chin with general anesthetic instead, so I can be fully asleep and not feel any stabbing pains? Because I heard you even feel pain when theyre injecting you the local on all areas.

A: Smart Laser Liposuction Anesthesia Choices

There are always different anesthesia options and it depends on your needs and the surgeon's comfort.  If you would like the procedure performed under general anesthesia then you should tell your Plastic Surgeon.  As long as you are medically cleared, your surgeon should be able to offer this choice.  You should be prepared to pay an additional fee for the anesthesiologist.
