will pregnancy after thigh liposuction cause fat to be distributed towards the stomach or will the pregnancy cause the remaining fat in the thighs to increase, effectively ruining the thigh lipo?

Answer: Pregnancy effects after liposuction on the legs 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. All the best - Dr. Bekanich

Answer: What happens to previously liposuctioned areas after pregnancy? 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.
