Liposuction Before Kids

Would it be safe to have liposuction before having kids? Would liposuction negatively affect my body or health in any other way besides gaining weight back during and after pregnancy? Would it cause major deformities after or during pregnancy or any other abnormal significant health or cosmetic problems?

Having liposuction before kids would be safe. I have seen young female patients have liposuction and then go on to have normal pregnancies and do fine.

In terms of negatively affecting your body or health, other than gaining weight, you will unlikely to be concerned if the liposuction is performed in the proper manner and with good technique, which is how I like to think all plastic surgeons do it.

As far as causing major deformities after or during pregnancy or even health or cosmetic problems, liposuction is unlikely to be an issue, unless you have a significantly high volume liposuction, where you have a chance for some adverse affects.
