Liposuction

[Made in heaven]

Really curious to know who has had liposuction done and whether it is common among bodybuilders. I know a lot of people have had breast fat removed as I have done myself to remove gyno, but what about other problem areas like waist and stomach, etc. And if so what were the results like. I've heard some people say that for bodybuilders it is a bad idea, as once you cut down to a really low bf you start to notice "lumpiness". look forward to your replies

I don't think most bb's don't undergo liposuction in the competitive part of a career. (Implants are a different story.)

Again, a professional bb has a lot more time/energy to dedicate to losing weight. Or cutting up. (It would not be practical to perform liposuction once a year -- depending on the cycle phase. Post-bulking.) He's willing to risk a lot, too. (DNP use, for example. And the guy doesn't have to worry about its impact on a 9-5 job.) BB is his livelihood.

Nor can he afford to wear a girdle for 2 to 3 months post-surgery. Other consequences. Tanning? On-stage routine? Scar tissue?

However, the average lifter is a different candidate in terms of liposuction. No plastic surgeon will promise 6,7,8% bf. It's simply not realistic in a guy who has big arms and a bigger gut. But a noticeable reduction in waistline can be achieved.

Afterward, I would recommend that the patient not try to bulk-up too much as part of a maintenance strategy. Or do so on a carefully-monitored diet. Gram scales and all.

The girdle is for 2-3 weeks.....The rusults amazing. Yes, first hand experience talking. I still bulk and cut and at greater body fat my abs still show

Live in Belmont? Does your plastic surgeon hold court in Copley Square?

Just curious.

Still, I'm surprised you had really good results using the girdle 2-3 weeks. Usually, the longer the better.

I hap lipo three years ago around my waist and abs to get rid of the stuff I couldn't seem to exercise off.
It was an easy operation-get a very good Board Certified Surgeon- and recovery wasn't too bad. I only took 5-6 weeks off from working out.
I went to a surgeon who specializes in athletes/bodybuilders/fitness trainers. He performs the surgery on a dozen people each week who are actually "in great shape" to give them that V body shape.
It was the best thing I've ever done as far as appearance goes. I had a 45 chest and 34 waist when I went in for the operation. Now I have a 48 chest and 31" waist.(the chest development obviously not because of the surgery.)
Most horror stories come from people who go to improperly trained surgeons or in-office surgery at a dermatologist. Get a real plastic surgeon.(cost was $2500.00)

I had my sides done. Great results cost was 1800.00. Ultrasonic is the best method. I'm having my front done this spring.

Fat cells do have GH receptors on them and GH will in dead cause lipolysis and reduced fat. However, its tough to say which way is better to go. lipo gets rid of the cells alltogether, GH simply triggers the release of thier stored fat. Lipo prolly run ya $2500 give or take and that would give you about 5-6 months of GH. its almost a wash but with the GH I suppose ya dont have the pain and recovery issues.
