Body fat percentage change?

By sexylibrarian on 12 May 2011

Has anyone noticed their body fat percentage before and after lipo? Logically it seems that it would be less since lipo removes fat that you body fat percentage would be less. Anyone? I won't have my procedures done until 5/31 so I'm just wondering what to expect after.

Hi sexylibrarian -- That's a good question! My hunch is that it does change, but probably not that much. People don't tend to lose more than a pound or two from lipo. if you're calculating your BMI, it wouldn't make much of a difference. But if you're doing skin calipers on an area that you had lipo'ed, you might see more of a difference... or at least that's the goal. :)
