Many women that are pregnant or planning to become pregnant often wonder how they will get their pre-baby body back. Pregnancy causes a significant amount of changes in a woman’s body and no matter how prepared we are, there are certain areas that never return to the way they were before the baby came. Weight can refuse to budge off of hips and thighs. Varicose veins may mark lower legs. Weight and sagging skin are one of the most common concerns of women who have had children or are planning to have children. Some women plan to have several children over multiple years and would like their bodies to look their best in between each pregnancy and may wonder their best options for liposuction.
Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Milind K. Ambe MD, says, “Liposuction id dramatic and intense surgical procedure that can produce remarkably beautiful results, but it is not a permanent procedure and weight can come back after it is removed.” As such, he recommends waiting until woman has decided to complete he child-bearing years before investing in liposuction. In this way, she can be sure that the results will be long-lasting and easier to maintain. Liposuction can be combined with other procedures such as a breast lift or tummy tuck as part of the Mommy Makeover package.

Don’t expect to look or feel great right after the surgery. Even though the newer techniques are believed to reduce some post-operative discomforts, you may still experience some pain, burning, swelling, bleeding and temporary numbness. Your surgeon may prescribe some medicines to control the pain and reduce the discomfort. However, in spite of all these do expect to feel a little stiff and sore for a few days.
