What happens to thigh liposuction after pregnancy?

Women gain weight on various parts of their body due to a variety of factors such as hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, and so on. It is inevitable because a woman’s body is susceptible to all these changes.Liposuction in one area depletes fat cells in that area.  As a result, if a patient gains weight, the fat will be stored in other areas of the body preferentially.  Liposuction in an area reduces the number of cells in that area and the propensity for gain in the future.  Fat will be less likely to return to the places that have been liposuctioned. Fat cells can always increase in size with weight gain. Hence, the reason for weight maintenance.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thanks for your inquiry, honestly the answer is hard to say.  SOme women genetically put weight on their thighs during pregnancy and I have seen women who gain no weight on their lower extremities.  The most important thing is to focus on a healthy and safe pregnancy for you and baby, the rest can follow, good luck.   

Liposuction results can be affected by factors like pregnancy. During pregnancy, weight gain and changes in body composition may occur. While liposuction removes fat cells, new ones can form if you gain weight. It’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to optimize and sustain the benefits of the procedure. Consulting with a healthcare provider is advisable for guidance based on your specific situation.

Hi - In the world of pregnancy changes it really has so much to do with how much weight you gain as well as if you are staying relatively fit during your pregnancy.  Calories will come in and be dispersed throughout your body, thus, your legs will be affected. Much of how and to what effect depends on how your own personal body responds to pregnancy.   My recommendation to patients is to try their best to maintain an appropriate weight throughout their pregnancy and this will help them have less pregnancy related changes.

This is a good question. After liposuction removes fat cells from a particular area, the remaining fat cells can still store fat, however there should be less change in these areas than before liposuction. There is a theory that having liposuction in a problem area prior to pregnancy can help to prevent undesirable changes in those areas during and after pregnancy. With any weight gain(pregnancy or otherwise), the fat has to go somewhere, and will be distributed to other fat cells with storage capacity.

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
Every pregnancy produces changes, the areas treated with liposuction, in most cases the accumulation of fat is minimal, the rest of the body is not treated, so the correct thing is to take a healthy diet during and after pregnancy.I hope this answer will help youMy best wishes for you...

Liposuction removes fat cells from the deeper tissue layers. These cells never return, and don't migrate elsewhere on the body. Pregnancy causes many changes to occur to the abdomen, thigh and hip areas, but a lot of this depends on weight gain during pregnancy and weight loss after delivery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy and avoiding severe weight fluctuations should keep your thighs in good shape. So no, pregnancy shouldn't ruin your thigh lip as long as your weight gain is controlled.
