Vaser lipo a couple of months before IVF, yes or definitely no?

Question

Would you strongly advice me not to do this? We start IVF in 2 months. Over the past 2 years I've added around 1.5 stone ( use to weigh 9stone, I now weigh now 10.4). As a result I have 'chunks' of fat in places like: top of back/around bra; big thighs; A double chin; And a large bottom! I feel gross and I want some help melting the fat out before we try to get pregnant (ie when I get bigger) I will not have any tummy/love handle area done. Any advice about this topic would be great.

You may want to reduce physical stress before your IVF.  If your fertility doctor clears you, then VASER may be an excellent modality for fat reduction in your body. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

There is no direct inherent reason you cannot have VASER two months prior to IVF.It's more of a philosophical decision.If you were in my office, I suppose I would have a quite lengthy discussion about what you're trying to achieve and what could be delivered.If you were assessed as an excellent candidate, I would be more motivated to steer you in this direction.If you're a moderate or average candidate, I may steer you towards waiting.You should be fairly well healed at two months, certainly enough so to physiologically handle an early pregnancy.While serious complications are exceedingly rare with this procedure, poor outcomes do you happen as well as patient dissatisfaction.If I felt confident you would have an excellent outcome with high patient satisfaction, I could see this as an emotional boost prior to your IVF.If there was a remote chance of sensing results would not live up to your expectations, I would not want to see you disappointed with your decision-making prior to embarking on creating your future family.If having this procedure will put a financial stress on you and your family on top of the expenses of IVF, then perhaps it's better to wait.Look for a plastic surgeon who has experience, board certification, an excellent reputation and who is an inherent patient advocate to help guide you in your decision-making.I wish you the very best of luck and much happiness in your upcoming endeavors.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

There should not be a problem with Vaser Liposculpture two months prior to IVF from the cosmetic surgery perspective.  At that point, you should not be on any antibiotics and you can stop using the second stage girdle.  However, it is best for you to get this clearance from your Gynecologist before pursuing the Vaser procedure.  Best wishes.
