Hello,
I gained nearly about 25 lbs just recently on a brief "down" period in which i really paid no attention to what I was eating and barely any exercise (I used to regularly and didn't eat very much sugar/high-fat food). I'm 25, petite, currently 117/118 lbs from a rather trim 95+ and I've had lipo before on my thighs and knees, was very happy with the result, but it was more of spot reduction...with this weight gain I noticed the fat was spread out all over thighs, buttocks and stomach, so I wanted to try mesotherapy as I thought it might be better in overall fat loss instead of targeting specific areas. Plus I didn't like the pain or downtime of lipo, but my doctor recommended it instead of mesotherapy (which isn't a familiar procedure). But as I wanted it so badly and the fat gain is rather much he suggested i try both.
Should I have mesotherapy before the liposuction? If after, I'm not sure I will have the time to try it (I return to my studies in the fall) and I'm reluctant to start lipo now at my heaviest weight before I begin a sensible diet again. However I have just three months, so time is a crucial factor for me, and I don't know when I should have it scheduled. Common sense suggests I pick a target weight at which I can have the procedure...any suggestions? As I said earlier the fat isn't in one specific area, but a rather distressingly thick layer on my inner thighs, hips and rear, and I imagine meso might be a better option (if not faster) if I want a reduction of at least 4 inches esp. on the problem spots like thighs.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS. Is there a difference from being treated with aminophylline and lipostabil? What are the uses of the two? HEre they offer only lipostabil but not the rest of the mesotherapy options available to people in the U.S. and Europe...
