I had a baby about 8 months ago and am considering lipo. I'm 31, 5'6 and about 165. I work out and eat pretty healthy, but I can't seem to get rid of the stubborn fat. BUT, I plan to have another baby in about two years. I'd rather not wait until after the second baby because I hate the way I look now. I don't even want to be in any of the pictures with my own child. Is there a medical reason I should not have lipo before a second baby? What are your thoughts?
