Liposuction

Have you had an experience with liposuction? Do you have questions for those who’ve done it successfully? What differentiates the professional surgeon from the charlatan?

HI Carla,

I would assume that it hurts. I've never had it done. I would never use such a measure to try and lose weight, but anyhow...you are taking away something that is part of your body, so there will be a wound, wheather it is visible or not, and this has to heal. That's just my opinion. I would love to hear from someone that actually had it done.

Hi Carla

I agree with Lisa, I really believe that this would hurt or that there could be some side effects. I would like to know that after you have had liposuction, if the fat comes back. Is this something you have to keep doing. If so I think that this could be rather costly and there must be a more effective way to get rid of the fat and to get rid of cellulite.

I watched this segment on MTV where they did various things to a handful of people. For example, one guy didn't have very big calf muscles, no matter what he did, everywhere else looked fine. So they implanted calfs. ewwwwww!!!!!!!!! It was so gross to watch, and painful apparently. One woman had gasterichbypass (excuse the spelling) surgery. She had slow but good results. She said it was hard to get used to the small portions, and getting sick if she even drank too much water. The woman who got lipo said it was soooo painful, but was very happy with the results. I actually looked into it because a friend of ours owns a hospital (not in the US) and that is one of the procedures they do there on an everyday basis. I was about 197 at 5'7 and they wanted me to lose 20 lbs at least, or I was told I would not be completely happy with the results and have to get further surgery to remove the skin. Yes you will gain the weight back if you don't have good eating, and execise habbits. If the procedure is done wrong, you could look deformed if you start to gain the weight back. There are many risks in any surgery. A friend of mine at work did the gastich..... surgery, after countless effort trying to loose weight and only gaining. Her doctor advised her to do this surgery. She looks and feels incredible, but she still has to work very hard to maintain her weightloss. There is no quick fix. If you could get skinny and stay skinny from a bottle or surgery with no exercise everyone would be just that , skinny.

i totally agree. I think anyone is much better off working off the excess fat because it's easier to keep that off then to maintain a weight after surgery as your body was comfortable at it's old weight and wants to return to that.

I think that it is also more rewarding, if you work for something and you will be willing to try much harder to keep it off. I know that this sounds hard, but we just have to face it - it is not easy and it's a continous effort

I think that if you exercise to take off those unwanted pounds then you will feel much better about yourself. But if you have surgery isn't that like cheating yourself.

Exercise might take longer but you will feel better.

yea i have looked into liposuction aswell, i have even gone to see a surgeon about it, he said that i would be a good candidate for it, but to try and lose some of the weight first (which was my plan) but he did say no matter how much weight i lose i would always have extra skin (on my abdomin cus of having 3 children) and the only way to get rid of it is to have a tummy tuck, but if i do lose the weight then i would be happy with that and i wouldnt even bother about the extra skin...

Liposuction isn't a natural process and i dont think that it ever should be such a thing. I think it's just better to lose weight through exercise and dieting. I don't know of anyone who has had it done.. but I'd say it wouldn't be a pretty operation to go through. You're body has to grow back skin and all that and you would have to deal with gross lose skin.. and all that un called for stuff..

well, I just think it's natural to have a tummy, especially after having three children. Anyone that says otherwise should think again.

it all comes down to what u r confortable with. it is natural to have a tummy after having kids, but if it bothers u, then there is really no way around it without surgery ...

Hi, my best friend has this done 2 years ago when she weighed 190 pounds, she had the fat removed from her abdomen, the surgery is pretty much painless due to the drugs and freezing but the recovery process is very long. She had to take a month off of work, basically the surgery works by taking away the fat from the lipo'ed area, fat will never deposit in that area again, its kind of cool to touch her stomach there is no fat on her skin there at all. She said it was a painful recovery but she'd do it again.

Hi,

I heard liposuction is supposed to be for people who are already at a good weight, and they are active, but they have a few pockets of fat that they cant seem to get rid of. Liposuction actually sucks the fat cells out of your body. When you gain weight, your fat cells do not multiply, they just get bigger. when you lose weight, they shrink. Because liposuction removes the fat cells, if you were to gain weight after the surgery, you would not gain it so much in the area that you had liposuction. you would gain it in other areas.

Exclamation Lipo hurts!!

This procedure is very painfull! I had to care for a friend after she had it done. She was unable to move her torso normally for almost 2 weeks. The scars are still visable today and she had it done over 2 years ago...and oh yeah..she gained back all of the weight she had sucked out.

The procedure does not make you healthy nor will it stop you from eating like poo. So don't take the lazy way out...just eat right and work out!
