Liposuction With PCOS?
I weigh around 225 pounds, and I have been the exact same weight for 2 years. I had a baby last year, and even then my weight didn’t change. I have tried every diet known to man, along with pills, weird foods, extreme exercise, and none of it worked. So I decided to do it right. I cut myself down to 1400 calories a day, limiting fat and sugar and worked out every day. After 2 months of restriction and exercise, I lost ZERO.
After all of this, I was told I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, which accounts for the lack of weight loss, and not having periods.
Now I’m told that the weight will be next to impossible to lose, no matter what diet I try or lifestyle I adapt to.
My question is, will a doctor do large volume liposuction on me? I know it’s only supposed to be used on small areas of a person who is generally fit already, but I’m not big enough for gastric bypass, and a diet won’t work.
Is this a good option for me?
I don’t need smartass answers, just some advice.
I am a plastic surgeon in Houston and can say that yes- you may have liposuction with PCOS. In my opinion however, you may need more than one session. Removing too much at one sitting can not only give you flabby skin- but can be quite dangerous. I recommend at least two sessions streached about 5 to 7 months apart.
People get in trouble with liposuction primarily due to either taking too much at a time, or by having poorly credientialled doctors do their surgery in less than sterile conditions.
I urge you to be sure your doctor is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
