I am currently scheduled to receive liposuction in my outer thighs an flanks at the same time as a BA, next month. My question is, since I seem to put on weight mostly in my thighs/flanks first, and my lower abdominals second, will I regret not also getting my lower abdominals done? I'm worried I will go through all the pain and work of recovery, only to gain my extra pounds strictly in my belly after recovery and still be uncomfortable in my body. Thoughts?
This is a very difficult question to answer without seeing any photos. I don't look at any one part of the body in isolation when considering surgery. It is best to consider all areas with a goal in mind of creating a beautiful and harmonious result. Book another consult with your surgeon so they can examine your lower abdomen and make a recommendation to you.
Best regards,

Hi, I am 285lbs, 5' 10", male, 25 years old. I've exercised and tried diets, nothing seems to work. I was looking at various non invasive liposuction options, as I have to work round the clock on weekdays, and resting at home is not an option, and prefer non surgical or non invasive methods. What is the best and proven non invasive liposuction option available for me ? I have fat male breasts and 52" waistline, pot belly. Losing even 5" would be great. Advance thanks and regards,
There is no non invasive form of liposuction. Liposuction involves infiltrating fluid into the fat underneath the skin and then removing fat with suction. There are other non surgical modalities that promise reduction in subcutaneous fat. The results with these are limited at best. I recommend diet and exercise to all of my patients to reduce weight and fat. If you are truly morbidly obese and have had no luck with diet and exercise you should consult with a bariatric surgeon to see if there is a weight loss surgery that might be appropriate for you.
I am scheduled for flank & thigh lipo in a few weeks. I was reading another Q&A on here and an answer from a doctor read, "it's not very often a patient needs a touch-up surgery for lipo unless under gen. anesthesia, then they usually need at least 1 or more touch-ups". I was never informed of this. I know there is always a chance for problems etc, but the use of the word "usually" sounds like I should fully expect another surgery and will spend more money... thoughts??
While anything is possible, I don't necessarily think that touch ups are "likely". The type of anesthesia should not make any difference in whether or not a touch up is more likely. You should discuss this with the surgeon who will be performing your liposuction to see what they think.
