I have been on various dosages of prednisone for 5 years due to an autoimmune disease, and I may never be able to get off. My face has become completely round and I am most self conscious about my neck and chin area that is extremely fatty. Currently I have been on a dosage of 10mg oconsistently for the last year and It may stay this way. Is there anything I can do to help?? How much would a procedure cost? Thank you
I have very stubborn fat deposits on my thighs from years of prednisone. While I am guessing that eventually it will need lipo, I'm hoping there are some really effective non-invasive options out there. Any suggestions? What treatments are most effective on that kind of fat in the thigh area?
I used to be 300 lbs.. lost over 150lbs once I had gastric bypass and was at a good weight, but was left with a lot of loose skin. After that weight loss, I got pregnant and gained a decent amount of weight back and it's been extremely difficult to lose. I take prednisone also so it makes even that much more difficult. I am now 190 , 5'3 ... is surgery even an option for me as I am? I really just want my belly done and my back rolls lipo'd.. a bbl wouldn't hurt either Lol but not a necessity
I went from 129# to 170 after taking prednisone for a head injury. I began seeing a weight management physician, started Phentermine and a 900-1200 cal meal plan. I work with a plastic surgeon who did abdominal, thigh, back roll Lipo in April removing 3500 cc. My stomach was FLAT, I was super happy. I now have more fat than pre-op in my abdomen and thighs. Tons of labs done, all WNL. I'm frustrated and getting depressed. He's offered to do Lipo again, I fear it'll be the same result. Any advice?
I tried fixing it with fasting from 8PM - 10AM, I do a high intensity training or a 5km run while fasted just before breakfast and kickboxing just before dinner for 5-6 days a week and a day or two of rest; I have 3-4 meals a day. I saw a drop in my overall weight and an increase in muscle but the love handles and muffin top stomach are still there even though I'm also taking Hydroxycut Elite. Any way to make my permanent love handles non-permanent or is surgery really my only option?
liposuction w/o post op steroid for swelling okay?? I have a heavy intolerance/interaction with the prednisone prescribed post op for lipo. My doc states its fine NOT to take it, but my last lipo experience I swelled bad. Isn't that dangerous?? blood clots more susceptible? Need 2nd opinion please
I just had liposuction a week ago on the love handles, lower and mid back, and a tuck of the mid back loose skin rolls. I was given a Prednisone pack for the swelling but that lasted a week. I was wondering if there are any other oral or topical medications that will help reduce the swelling and fluid build up?
