Liposuction for the most part is a simple and safe operation with quick recovery. There's no reason to try to tamper by using your body is a pharmacy.

HI,

	I will be more vehement than my fellow surgeons in telling you to not do anything crazy! HGH will not speed up or in any way affect your recovery and may have adverse effects upon the rest of your body including abnormal skeletal growth (increase in jaw and forehead and digit size). Be smart with your body; it is the only one you have.

you should be able to get back into the gym after liposuction within 3 days. the recovery from the procedure for small volumes is not long or complicated

Not a good idea;  best to avoid unproven  modalities to “speed up” the natural recovery process.

	 Best wishes.

This will not speed up your recovery. Depending upon the nature of the competition, it may make you ineligible if they do any drug testing. All the best.
