Pregnancy and Lipolite Laser Liposculpture

Lipolite laser liposculpture uses laser fat-melting and traditional liposuction technology to remove excess fat tissue--but with more accurate, precise results than with traditional liposuction alone. Women who are pregnant, are considering becoming pregnant or have just given birth may wonder what this procedure can do for them.

Before Becoming Pregnant

You can safely have lipolite laser liposculpture performed on any part of your body before becoming pregnant. However, it's important to remember that weight gain is a natural part of pregnancy. If you hope to get pregnant soon, you may just want to wait until after you've given birth to have the procedure performed. Otherwise, you may accumulate excess fat (particularly in the abdominal, back and thigh areas) and need to have the procedure again.

While Pregnant

Lipolite laser liposculpture is a relatively safe procedure. It's performed on an outpatient basis, uses no anesthesia and requires only one to two days of rest. Nevertheless, you may want to wait until after you've given birth to have the procedure performed. You'll likely accumulate excess fat as your pregnancy progresses and you want to make sure that the fat will not naturally go away following the procedure, rendering the procedure unnecessary. You also don't want to strain yourself during pregnancy or potentially harm your child. Having liposculpture performed on your abdominal area, for example, is unlikely to be allowed during pregnancy because of the proximity to the child.

After Pregnancy

After you've given birth is an ideal time to have lipolite laser liposculpture performed. The liposculpture can help you get rid of the excess fat you've accumulated during pregnancy, and you won't have to worry about potentially harming your child.
