Seattle Liposuction doctors

This is an FAQ.  Here's my spiel: 

• The stuff removed with TT and lipo is mostly fat.  Find out the weight of the stuff removed from your surgeon.
• Subtract that weight from your preoperative weight.  For example, you weighed 142 pounds preoperatively and the surgeon removed 4 pounds of stuff.  Your adjusted preoperative weight is now 138.
• If you creep back up to 142, you have gained 4 pounds of fat and I don't know anyone who can say exactly where it "will go".  If you creep up to 152, you are unlikely to be happy with your postoperative result but it is not because the surgery failed.

Soooooo ....... don't use body contouring as a way to lose weight.  It's about shape, not pounds.

If you find an easy weight to win the battle of the bulge,  please let me know. 

I wish I had a dollar for every time we get this question.  I'd have a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Time will help this.  Some of your pain may be from alteration in your sleeping position.  Sometimes a bunch of pillows or a body pillow can help you find a more comfortable position for your back.  Also, warm compresses can help but be careful.  You probably have some skin numbness and too much heat could burn your skin.  Also, make sure you are getting up and around.  Gentle movement almost always helps.

Thank you for your question and photos. You are young with good thick and elastic skin. It sounds that you are doing everything you can do without surgery. Liposuction, especially using the VASER technique will give you an excellent countour improvement with good skin tightening. Even though you do exhibit a lower abdominal small pooch, this will tighten up with liposuction. See a board certified plastic surgeon for a face to face consultation. Good luck.
