Liposuction after sleeve gastrectomy? (Photo)

March 30, 2015
Asked By:KayKurves in New York, NY

I had sleeve gastrectomy 7 wks ago. Lost 25LBS. Now 260lbs. I notice since sx my inner thighs are starting to sag a little. I was wondering if getting lipo now would help combat all the droopy skin I will have. I go to the gym and I'm toning my whole body. My skin has good elasticity so that is on my side. Goal weight is 170. I want it to help combat the fat loss I will have & to help contour my body in addition to my exercise regimen. Would like to get my back, flanks, abd, and inner thighs.
