Hi, I am planning on having a neck lift with liposuction. I'm 38 yrs. old. I'm also planning on trying to get pregnant 5 months after the surgery. I am afraid the gaining weight from becoming pregnant would undo what the surgery did. My doctor told me as long as I only gain about 25 pounds, I should be fine. But friends and family say you can't be certain how much weight you gain and could gain up to 70 pounds. Suggestions?
