27 w/o kids. SmartLipo on upper and lower abd, flanks, and bra rolls. Since I've never been pregnant will having this procedure be a wise choice? With pregnancy comes weight gain and abdominal muscle stretching. Will smart lipo at this time be a waste of money?

Answer: Smartlipo expectations Thanks for your question. The beauty of Smartlipo is that it is a safe, in-office procedure designed to improve your contour. It can permanently eliminate troublesome areas of fat. It involves tiny incisions. It does not do anything to tighten the muscle layer of your abdomen which is often stretched during pregnancy. Tummy tuck surgery is something you'd consider AFTER pregnancy. I'd suggest meeting with a local plastic surgeon to discuss it. Best wishes.

Answer: Smartlipo before pregnancy: is it worth it? Thanks for your question and as you have learned from the posts already here you can have SmartLipo prior to any pregnancy as long as you can maintain your weight and exercise some during the pregnancy. If the pregnancy is something that may come sooner than later, I might recommend that you wait for the lipo procedure but if it is not in the short term, then there is no reason not to proceed if you are an appropriate candidate. We always recommend that you have a consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to learn all of the best treatment options that are out there and for you.
