I have a consultation booked and 100% want liposuction, I have maintained a stable weight for several years now but have stubborn fat on my stomach/flanks. I am healthy and have no medical issues. However, after reading some patients reviews, some people have said that they started having thyroid problems after liposuction. I am not sure how lipo could cause this so wanted to know is it possible? Are there any long term effects of having liposuction that anyone considering should be aware of?
