Would you advise your wife to have lipo pre-pregnancy? There are different opinions regarding pre-pregnancy lipo. The question is not how will lipo affect the pregancy but how will lipo withstand the preganancy? Meaning if you get lipo ad then have a baby in 1-2 yrs, will your stomach be fatty, not just loose skin, but fatty after you give birth (assuming normal 20-25lbs pregancy weight gain)? On one site it says because the cells that store fat are permanently removed w/ liposuction, weight gain will not occur in the treated areas. Is this true?

Hello,
What you will find if you look long enough is that plastic surgeons do things differently. Your surgeon must not be a believer in compression garments. I do this with my patients as do many other surgeons. Your surgeon doesn't believe in it and probably has a reason. Why don't you...
Usually as the more you do physically, the more swelling sets in. The best thing to do is what you are doing is wearing the neck strap as much as possible. It usually takes about 4 months before your final result is apparent.
So be patient and continue with the strap and see how things shape...
Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion without photos. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
