Arm and shoulder lipo: Should I do it before or after pregnancy?

Getting the arms and back done with the power assisted liposuction just blasts threw those tough fibrous areas of the back nicely and cleanly. Get it done now and don't worry about getting pregnant later. You deserve to look great now. sincerely, dr hansen

There is no reason not to do liposuction on the areas that have residual fat and are getting bigger than the liposuction areas after you gained weight.  I commonly do office liposuction for the upper lateral back, underarms, bra rolls, and upper posterior arms.  You do not have to wait for pregnancy to do this.

If you are planning on having children in the near future, I would wait until after pregnancy for liposuction.  If it will be a while before having children, liposuction may be a reasonable option.Safety should always be the first priority when undergoing any type of surgical procedure.  BMI is just one measure of your fitness for surgery.  The two main reasons for targeting a BMI close to 30 are to lower the risks of complications during and after surgery and to increase the probability of attaining your ultimate goals in one surgery.  Distribution of fat and overall health as well as goals all factor into this decision.   It is best to be within 10 pounds of your goal weight for six months prior to your surgery.  Different surgeons will have different opinions and comfort levels with regard to BMI so it is best to ask the individual surgeon at your virtual or in-office consultation.
