Is liposuction the solution for my tamoxifen/menopause-induced muffin top? (Photo)

November 3, 2018
Asked By:stinkyp in New York, NY

I’m 45, 5’4 and currently 122 lbs. for most of my life I was skinny. I’m a small frame and weighed around 110. I was diagnosed with IDC breast cancer almost 3 years ago. I had a double mast., chemo + herceptin, then was given Tamoxifen, which put me into menopause. Since then I have ballooned around the middle. I am a very healthy eater, exercise like crazy and the muffin top won’t budge. Would Lipo help? If I keep gaining weight from the Tamoxifen, would that just negate the effects of liposuction?
