Is liposuction the best treatment for my saddle bags when I want to maintain some curves? (photo)

N
noonoo127May 11, 2019

I have saddlebags and even at my lowest weight continue to have them! I have tried exercises and many other things to get rid of them but nothing is working and now I’m looking into liposuction. The only thing is I was wondering is it possible to get some of the fat removed there while still having some curves?? And also what is the approximate cost of this surgery in Toronto?

Thanks for your question. Healing after liposuction is usually pretty straight forward.  There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery.  The lateer phase of healing takes pl...

U.K. I am sorry you are having this issue. Irritation and burns similar to the one you are describing usually occur when the elastic garment is too tight. The garment should be snug but not overly tight and uncomfortable. It is best to keep the wounds clean and covered with an antibiotic ointm...

Thank you for your question! Based on your photo, you are a candidate for liposuction. This procedure will remove fat from the area and get rid of the “hump” to the lower back. I recommend  consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon, who can create a personalized plan for you. Best of luck!

I have been menopausal for 2.5 years, and after lipo in my abdomen I have had light uterine bleeding. Are they related?

Thank you for your question. The breast surgery wouldn't be directly related to your uterine bleeding. However, I strongly recommend seeing your gynecologist, as well as your breast surgeon for further examination.
