If you asked a reputable cosmetic surgeon that question, they would think twice about doing lipo on you. Honestly, if you’re worried about how your shirts are gonna fit before the swelling even goes down, YOU should think twice about lipo.

Liposuction Costs thousands of dollars… and basically the doctors suck out your fat with a vacuum type tube… and there are risks… you can have permanent nerve damage… and if the vacuum accidently sucks something other than pure fat, your body can go into shock…and I think complications happen more than they don’t happen…but don’t quote me on that.

yes it can make it any way you want it but the only bad things about lipsuction is stretch marks appear everywhere and they look really nasty. It’s also really not healthy especially if you are obese. I would definately talk to your doctor and see what he or she thinks about the idea for you. Good luck

yes. It worked for George Bush. Only one problem with him, the doctor looked and looked and couldn’t find any cerebral tissue hidden among all the fat cells, so when the fat was all sucked out, there was a whole lot of dead space in his cranium, and they had to fill it up with something, so they played a whole bunch of movies for him, mostly John Wayne movies, and some TV, like The Rifleman. Lots of good stuff with fighting and good versus evil and the good white American males from Texas always win.

Liposuction will only allow you to lose 5 to 10 lbs and the recovery time is a few days, try diet and exercise, cheaper and will allow you to get into the shape you need to be, it isn’t only a weight issue it is the ability for physical endurance, something liposuction doesn’t do.

Good luck, if you plan on liposuction! I would never even think of it (but I’m completely terrified of needles). Here’s a page on the different procedures http://www.liposuction-costs.com/liposuction-procedure.html (ahhhhh). I’m a believer of hard work, and not taking the easy path to anything. Being committed to exercise just 3 times a week and sticking to low fat foods, I can’t see how anyone can’t lose weight. I lost 15 pounds in 6 months doing this. No pills, no depriving myself, no liposuction. Just treadmill or bike 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, and adjusted my eating habits a little. I would reward myself once every weekend with some kind of junk food (a chocolate bar, cheeseburger, milkshake…). Here’s another site that discusses natural weight loss http://www.analyzing-weight-loss.com/.
