I had Vaser Lipo whilst pregnant. I had the op (abs area) and my period was due 4 days later. I had read that the op could affect my cycle, so when my period didn’t come (only camping) I wasn’t concerned. I take a test 6 days after my period was due, which to my surprise the test was positive. Will the local anaesthetic used via the incisions & or the overall procedure affect my fetus /unborn baby in anyway?
