I am turning 38-year-old. I have 1 child and was postponing my Liposuction 'til after the birth of my second. Since pregnancy is being difficult, I'm at the point where I'd like to have my Liposuction done. My mom's side of the family all turn into barrels around the midsection and I'd like to avoid that. How soon after Liposuction can I get pregnant and what are the affects of Lipo on pregnancy? My OB has never run into this question, and I can't find any articles on the subject, so I'm hoping someone here can help.

Answer: Wait until after the pregnancy. You have excess skin along with the fat now. It will be better to wait until after the pregnancy. Then you can have the liposuction with a modified tummy tuck.

Answer: Pregnancy after liposuction should wait six months Liposuction itself will not interfere with your anticipated pregnancy, however the drugs used for anesthesia or sedation and pain control after may have some unforeseen risk. It would be best if you had several normal cycles before attempting to become pregnant to ensure the safest outcome from your pregnancy. After, begin exercise and stress control and a multiple vitamin, all medication except Tylenol should be avoided. Of course no smoking or alcohol and then begin the begat.Pregnancy will not ruin the benefits of liposuction as long as you remain fit, eat well, and control weight gain. You may look for a class or trainer who specialises in fit pregnancy to assist.Best of luck,peterejohnsonmd
