Is It a Good Idea to Get Lipo Before Marriage and Having Children?

I am 23 years old, I have never been married nor I have children. Do you recomend having a liposuction before marriage and having children. Will in the future affect me having children?

A: when ever you are ready

If you are a candidate, Liposuction can be done any time, the most important factor is you being ready for it.

Abdominoplasty on the other hand should be done only after you have finished with pregnancies.

Is Liposuction Good Enough or Will I Need a Tummy Tuck, Too? (photo)

I can't afford both and don't know which one I should try. I've had one in person consultation and he suggested lipo & tt but I don't know if he's just trying to do more to make more. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!!!

A: You need both

If you were my patient I would recommend for you to get to the best possible weight (5,10, 20 pounds  as much as possible in a realistic way) Then  you need the abdominoplasty, you will obtain good results for your front view and improvement of the lateral aspect of the flanks. Then in a later procedure if you still worry about the flanks and the back, then you can get liposuction. If you do it the other way around then you will be unhappy because the excess skin of your abdomen will be still there and you will see it every time you look in a mirror.

Good luck

Post Lipo Bulges- Will They Go Away With Time? (photo)

Can you tell me if the bulge on my left side will ever go away? I had lipo 10 weeks ago and this was present immediately after surgery. I have paid for additional endermologie treatments (12 total) and have not seen any improvement. I also see some surface irregularties under my belly button area along with dropped skin on the right side of my belly button. Normal??

A: Bulge is actually muscle - the external oblique

That bulge is actually muscle - the external oblique.  It will not go away, and if it did, your contour would look abdnormal.  Even extremely lean people have a muscle bulge here.  Hard to comment on the surface irregularities without seeing your before photos.  Certainly any irregularities appear quite minor and your result looks quite acceptable.
