Pregnancy After Non-invasive Liposuction?

I am considering non-invasive Liposuction but what happens if I get pregnant again?

I already have 3 children but we are undecided if we want anymore. I have the love handles and the muffin top from having 3 large babies. If I get a non-invasive Lipo procedure such as Smart Lipo or Vaser Liposuction, what would happen to the end result?

Do the fat cells go back to that area? Would it be a waste of my time and money?

Typically, it is best to wait until after kids to have liposuction.

While liposuction can be done at any time of life, typically it is best to wait until after all childbirths in order to have liposuction. This doesn't mean that it can't be done before, but if you gain significant amounts of weight or even reasonable amounts, more fat may redistribute to the areas that have already been treated. I would also be remiss in not saying that either of these procedures aren't 'non-invasive'. They are both invasive and the method of fat removal, the liposuction... more

Pregnancy after liposuction

If liposuction is performed and then the patient gains weight, the weight usually gets redistributed a little differently than before the procedure. The end result may change after the weight gain and the skin stretching.

Results can change with changing body, diet or lifestyle

Procedures such as SmartLipo, VASER or traditional liposuction provide great results when performed by trained physicians. The results are long-lasting and sustained so long as the patient maintains his/her lifestyle. The perfect candidate is one who has a stable weight, exercises regularly and maintains a healthy diet. The fat cells in our body a made to store fat and they are very efficient at doing this. What this means is that any fat cell can store more fat and enlarge even... more

most aren't over 8,000 (and that's both hip/butt and thighs)And acaultly getting combos can lower the price for some strange reason he said. I was told it would be best to get one done first, recovery to a certain point, then do the the other for a natural look and safe healing process. But after my fat has been removed, or before the surgery even happens, I was going to ask to add the fat to my breast? Is it a smart idea? Just to make somewhere in the upper B cup size, nothing crazy or should i wait on the breast idea and se myself after the surgery? Thanks for any answers!Oh, and I have tried diets and exercise and such, and I did lose weight, but even though I lost only 20lbs over a YEAR, with no junk food but around 3 times a week or less and no soda, the area all shrunk together still making me seem the same size. Not noticeable at all. And even with daily 30 min to 1hr of workouts I only come out sore until my body got used to the plan, but wasn't losing the weight.
