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??
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.
I Am 70 Male with a Beer Gut. is Liposuction a Choice for Me ?
It depends on what you mean by a beer belly. If you have a protuberant abdomen with minimal fat between your skin and the underlying muscle you meet the usual definition of a beer belly and are not a good candidate for liposuction, because liposuction can only access subcutaneous fat - not the "visceral" fat inside your abdominal cavity. This internal fat can only be reduced by weight loss.
I am considering lipo of my midriff and abdomen. I have always heard that you have a certain number of fat cells and that the only thing that changes is how much fat they contain. I am thinking that if I lose 5-10 pounds before lipo that the Doctor will be able to remove more fat cells. Is this thinking correct? Thank you.
When you diet, the fat cells shrink but they don't go away (the number stays the same). Only liposuction reduces the number of fat cells. Ironically, if you are too thin, it gets harder for the surgeon to suction out the fat cells (we have to be careful to leave a cushion of fat between the skin and underlying muscle). So really there is no need to go on a crash diet, and these diets are notoriously unsuccessful (you are likely to put the weight back on in short order). Also, you should be nutritionally healthy at the time of surgery. Not a time to restrict calories or protein because you need these for healing.
