Liposuction

Has anyone had belly fat removed by liposuction in HH or BKK? What is the cost and are there risks or side effects?

The main risk is putting it all back on if you don't make a lifestyle change...

I know... Just need a shortcut!

If you are driving from the airport side of town, take a left at the first set of traffic lights, and you'll see a very cosmetic surgery located on your left, about 20 to 30 meters down the road. They advertise all the usual things, including lipo, botox, etc, etc.

Never been inside but I guess there is no harm in checking the place out.

Let me say what it is good for. 2 friends who exercised with me, lost over 15k ( 30 lbs) each by a low carb diet/low beer consumption/daily exercise programme. They lost their beer bellies and had flat ones BUT the 'love handles' remained' they had those suctioned and now look great.. Interestingly, they weighed before and after surgery and the weight loss was only 1k. Lipo is good for trimming and shaping but not for weight loss

My recommendation would be to change your lifestyle, to how you envisage your lifestyle will be after the suction, for a couple of months first. See if you loose or maintain weight and, if so, ask yourself if you've been happy with living in that manner and believe you will continue to do so. If so, then by all means take the lip shortcut to get you started. If not, then there's not much point wasting your money in the first place.

Additionally, I'm no expert, but I'd image the stretch marks and excess skin will be a lot worse using liposuction than if you let the weight fall off over time.

The 'lipo short cut to get you started' What a strange idea. Where exactly are you suggesting that they insert the cannula?
