Pregnancy After Liposuction - Is It Risky?

If you've had previous liposuction but now you're thinking of having
a baby, you may be wondering will pregnancy after liposuction have any
effect on your body as it goes through the changes pregnancy will
bring.The good news is there's really nothing to worry about. Having
children after a liposuction procedure is not at all uncommon, and is
certainly not considered to be risky in any way.However, there are a
few things to take into account from a purely logistical perspective -
a couple of them depend very much on what part of your body you had
your liposuction procedure.If you had previous liposuction on your
abdomen, you are likely to be blessed with a curvaceous baby belly!
You're unlikely to gain much weight in that area because during the
liposuction a lot of the fat cells in that area were removed - which
can make it that much easier to get your tummy back in shape after the
baby is born. So far, so good!However - there is one aspect of
liposuction that can be interesting to live with. Sometimes, if you do
put on weight after your lipo, it can be added in the most interesting
places! Since a lot of the fat cells from the original area are gone,
you might find yourself gaining weight on your buttocks, but not your
abdomen, if that was the site of your liposuction. In individuals
who've had extensive lipo on various areas of the body, weight can be
put on in unusual places, like the hands and feet!In pregnancy, the
female body is genetically predisposed toward gaining weight - for a
good reason. The rigors of looking after a newborn baby and
breastfeeding depend on a decent store of fat, so biologically women's
bodies are programmed to put on weight during pregnancy.The ideal
situation is to allow your body to put on some extra weight - but not
to go overboard or let your hair down completely and pile on a major
amount of weight. Talk to your doctor about your weight and he / she
will guide you on this.If you are thinking of having liposuction, but
you're also thinking of having a baby in the not too distant future,
it might be better to have the lipo after the baby has arrived. Then,
once the baby is born and you have recovered sufficiently from the
pregnancy and childbirth, a liposuction procedure might be in
order.Women who are having a scheduled c section are increasingly
asking to also schedule in a tummy tuck at the same time, especially
if they are sure they don't want to have any more children after this
one. The reason for this can often be this is not their first
pregnancy, their family is now complete and they want to get their
bodies back to the way they were before children.The main thing to
remember is pregnancy after liposuction shouldn't be a big deal, but
if you are concerned about your own situation, do speak to your doctor
to put your mind at rest.
