Pregnancy does not permanently alter the results of liposuction. If a woman undergoes liposuction and later becomes pregnant, she will gain weight normally during different stages of gestation, give birth, and then, when she loses the excess pregnancy weight, the improvements from her liposuction will become visible again in her body because the fat cells removed by liposuction do not grow back.
Firstly, liposuction is a completely feasible fat loss solution for women both before and after pregnancy. There is no reason why a woman cannot or should not have liposuction if she plans to become pregnant in the future. This surgery does not affect fertility.
Ideal candidates for liposuction are adults whose body weight is close to ideal, with firm and elastic skin and good muscle tone, but they have accumulated fat deposits in certain areas that appear disproportionate to the rest of their body.
It is important that liposuction patients are healthy individuals, free from life-threatening diseases or medical conditions that may hinder recovery. Non-smokers with a positive attitude and specific goals regarding liposuction are perfectly eligible for the procedure.
Those who meet these requirements and wish to shape their figure to achieve a defined silhouette, free of fat, or obtain a more elegant contour in certain areas of their body will find liposuction to be the most suitable treatment.
Some women worry that pregnancy, with its dramatic body changes, will negate their liposuction results and would be a waste of time and money for surgery if they plan on future pregnancies. This, however, is false. Pregnancy does not affect liposuction results. The procedure removes fat cells, and these cells do not grow back but simply expand with weight gain. Therefore, patients always retain their newly contoured shape.
