Can I start a short round of hCG directly after abdominal tumescent lipo?

julirodOct 15, 2015
I am considering abdominal tumescent liposuction directly before starting a short round of hCG. Are there any potential complications from that plan? I want to make sure I don't do any damage by following up the lipo with hCG. I did hCG almost 2 years ago and just need a little reset. Please advise.
