I'm just curious if liposuction and abdominal etching is something that changes with weight fluctuations and pregnancy. I'm 5'11 and 145 pounds but I'm not at my goal weight, should I be close to it when undergoing this surgery and what happens if I continue to lose weight after the procedure? Any insight would be so helpful, thank you!

Answer: Liposuction and Abdominal Etching Thank you for sharing your question. Liposuction and abdominal etching are designed to enhance body contours by removing fat and highlighting natural muscle definition. While the removed fat cells won't return, significant weight fluctuations can affect the remaining fat cells and potentially alter the results. Pregnancy can also change body contours. Ideally, it's best to be near your goal weight before undergoing such procedures to maintain consistency in results. If you continue to lose weight post-surgery, it may subtly change the definition and overall look, but the results should still be favorable. Always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for tailored advice. Best wishes!

Answer: Abdominal Etching I believe it is always best to be at or close to your goal weight. In your case, you are about 10lbs underweight. When you are very thin, the creases we make with liposuction will be very subtle because there is not much fat to remove. When you have more fat that can be removed, the creases can be much deeper giving better definition. I would recommend gaining some weight to get to your goal weight. Pictures would be helpful
