My stomach is always more squishy and less bloated after I've thoroughly cleared out my stool (suffer from IBS). Does that help the surgeon during liposuction or does it not matter how bloated & constipated you are?

Answer: Liposuction Hi, thank you for sharing your question. It is not generally recommended to take a laxative prior to liposuction. Consult with your board certified plastic surgeon to review your options for optimal results. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Answer: Laxative before elective surgery? We do not recommend our patients to take laxative before any surgery, even those who have difficulties with bowels movement. However, we do advise patients to take laxative or fiber rich diet after surgery because anesthesia and pain meds will slow bowels and that may be significant problem with some patients. Postoperative diet is important part of our counseling before any elective procedure including liposuction and BBL. Good luck.
