Can Liposuction Change Estrogen Levels?

June 4, 2012
Asked By:Juliabars in Seattle, WA

I had a liquid lipo done on my big love handles 2 years ago (at 23) and have since had metabolic issues. My body fat went from bottom to top/center, and I gained a lot of visceral fat (MRI). I'm only 118 and 5'4". I now have little feminine fat on me, and I'd like to get a fat transfer from my arms, back, and belly to my hips again. Given my reaction the first time, and that fat grafts can reabsorb, could more lipo affect my estrogen to testosterone ratio, fertility, and/or feminine behavior?
