TO LIPO ~ OR NOT TO LIPO! THAT IS THE QUESTION?

By MusicLuver on 07 Jul 2012

Ok....I keep hearing horror stories regarding lipo that it can come back to other areas of your body? OMG!!! I am having a tummy tuc on the 17th of July with lipo and now I dont know if the lipo is going to be a good thing. But I hear that lipo helps to smooth things out and help the TT with contouring your waist and all better....OMG! Whats to be done?

I chose not to have lipo with my tummy tuck because I didnt want to deal with the recovery, and didnt want the 'fat in weird places" thing that I kept reading about. I was a little worried because my upper stomach did have some fat on it. Well, I had an extended tt on 6/13 and it smoothed right down and blends beautifully. After going through the recovery I am SO glad I did not elect to have anything else done at the same time. I think its just a personal choice!.

I had lipo on my outer thighs, hips and booty along with my tummy tuck. My personal experience has been good. I have not noticed anything coming back in other areas.

With that said you do need to make sure you are following a healthy diet and exercise program after. Lipo and a tummy tuck are not a free card to eat, drink and not exercise.

It takes maintenance after the surgery so just know that.
