A: Is lipo a good idea?

Hi there.  It's hard to answer your question without seeing you in person but it looks like liposuction may be an option.  You can have children after tummy tuck without any issues, but there's a good chance you would need a revision.  It really depends on your goals an expectations.  Liposuction is great for people who are close to their ideal body weight and just want to treat focused areas of fatty deposits for contouring.  Tummy tuck does this as well as remove excess skin.  I suggest you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area--nothing beats a physical exam!  Good luck!

A: Swelling after lipo is normal All forms of liposuction, including Smartlipo, leave patients with postoperative swelling. The swelling is usually at it's greatest 2-3 days after the procedure but can last up to 8-12 weeks depending on the area treated and the amount of fatty tissue removed. So, at 2.5 weeks all the symptoms you describe are well within the norm.

A: Liposuction for weight loss Hi Pearland- The short answer is no. Liposuction (and specifically Smartlipo) is used for body contouring not weight loss. When there is a specific body part that is out of proportion to the rest of your figure then liposuction is a good option. The best liposuction candidates are those who are at their ideal body weight or just above their ideal body weight. Weight loss patients who look to liposuction to solve their weight problems are rarely satisfied. Nothing beats losing weight the old fashion way!
