I am 20 years old and in good health. I've been the same steady weight for a while now (145 lbs, 5'6) and I have never been overweight. My stomach is the only part of my body that I have ever had a problem with. It always seemed to be a good deal larger than other parts.
My question is, is it advisable to have lipo if you ever want to become pregnant? How does pregnancy affect a liposuctioned stomach say 10 to 15 years after the surgery? Thank you for your help!
From the pictures you provided it appears you are an excellent candidate for lipsuction. There is no reason this procedure would make pregnancy difficult later in life or cause complications. This is a very personal decision and if this has always been a concern for you I recommend getting a consult. I hope this helps you.
Kindest regards,

I also noticed that my sciatic nerve hurts a little, so I was wondering is it was from ultrasonic lipo.
You need to give a bit more information for a good answer; What pain are you having, where, when did it start, do you have back problems, where was your Liposuction done (on your body).
However, I think it would be hard to hit the sciatic nerve with the ultrasound probe or the liposuction cannula. The nerve is deep and pretty well protected. It may be that you had some underlying disk disease and the surgical position aggravated the nerve. It could be also that the pain has nothing to do with surgery, or it could be normal post procedure pain.
Talk with your surgeon, and if in doubt, your primary care doctor can start your workup for sciatica.
I've always been in good shape but after having a baby, I weighed 142lbs and 34% body fat. I'm only 5'0 and shocked with the weight gain! Through diet & exercise I got down to 130 and decided to do liposuction. After having my stomach done, I weighed 125lbs/24% body fat. Next liposuction was on inner thighs and I now weigh 120lbs/17% body fat. I'm happy that I'm in a good range, but I still have one last lipo procedure - area underneath the armpit. I'm worried body fat % will be too low after.
Congratulations on the new look! I think so far your abdomen looks great and you are doing well. I think it would be difficult to get to too low a body fat percentage by liposuction. You have had some weight loss associated with your liposuction. Although is may be possible to get a 5 pound weight loss from liposuction of the abdomen alone, I done not think you likely had enough fat in your inner thighs to generate a 5 pound loss. I think you are getting some of the weight loss on your own! If you are dieting or exercising more, talk with your surgeon about it. He can give you more incite into the procedure and how much fat he removed.
