Asked By:Princesslife in Orlando, FL

I’m interested in having liposuction to get rid of some stubborn fat. If I slim down as much as possible before the procedure will this reduce pain, bruising, and increase healing post-op? What are the benefits to losing weight prior to VASER? Well the results be better? What is the average down time for returning to work, exercise, and returning to the pool? What is the average pain response? Can this fat then be graded to lips and cheeks?
