If you've got the money and stubborn fat I don't see a problem with it. Could be a solution to getting decent abs without the gaunt face many people get at that low body fat %.

    not really. at least, i dont think so.

    what i would consider is possible excess skin removal (which i am hoping isnt TOO Much of an issue for me with time) and definitely a boob job- not to change size, just to pick the girls back up LOLOLOL

    I'm probably not going to be popular for this but - yes, I would consider liposuction if:

    * I had exhausted all other avenues
    * if it was a little less intrusive than it sounds.
    * If I had the money and spare time for the recovery

    Same, so probably not. Heck I can't even imagine shelling money to get rid of my loose skin, and I have the belly of a sharpei.

    I saw Anna Richardson get lipo on one upper arm (self proclaimed 'bingo wings') on an episode of Supersize vs Superskinny (a BBC show where an overeater and undereater switch diets for a few days to enlighten each other about the unhealthiness of their own lifestyle by seeing it through the eyes of someone opposite them).

    I would not do that. Her whole arm was a huge bruise and it looked intensely painful.

    That said, I wouldn't judge another who underwent it. It's not a moral thing for me, just that I wouldn't want to go through the recovery time.

    I wouldn't. I don't really care enough about what my abs look like to spend the money or take on the discomfort/risks of liposuction. I think I can be happy with my body with just diet and exercise changes.

    I have pierced things, and scarred/ inked parts of my body. I dont want cosmetic surgery. Strange...

    I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't put myself through an unnecessary procedure that carried potential risks. I'd also feel I'd be betraying my ethics to spend that type of money on unnecessary cosmetic procedures when so much of the world doesn't have access to proper medical care. If I had that money to waste on something I'd prefer to donate it.

    I wouldn't do it. I'd rather not have a procedure that carries risks for purely cosmetic reasons.

    I'm a big fan of plastic surgery, but only for things I cannot change myself. So no, I would not do that.

    For me, no way. IMO its not worth the risks, pain and expense.

    For others, I don't care. Your money, your body.

    I think plastic surgery is a very personal decision, and it's not for me to judge other people's choices. If someone has struggled with body image issues, it may or may not help them depending on where they are at psychologically. It's an invasive procedure that could potentially be fatal, so it's something that should not be taken lightly.

    That being said, I don't need it as I don't have stubborn stomach fat. However, if I did have stubborn stomach fat that wouldn't go away and I was a healthy weight, and had a solid excersize regim that I followed, and the stomach fat remained, then yes, I would get it.

    Well, first off I could never afford it nor the time off work so it's never happening for me.

    If I could (and could muster up the balls to go through with it) I would definitely have my thighs (mainly back of my legs) done. I have obscene amounts of cellulite. Like....bad. I'm going to work on that as much as I can, but it makes me very self conscious. I've read that lipo can actually make it look worse though...

    great point, and I do also think about all the disposable incomes people waste on gym memberships and exercise equipment when they just need to eat less and move more. Still I think it's a personal matter as to where you draw the line.

    Im 57 years old, most of my adult life I have had bowling balls on the outside of my my upper thighs. They are going down considerably as I lose weight, 75 lbs so far. If they are still there after I reach goal weight, 20 more lbs, and stay at goal weight, I would consider lyposuction as that is the one area of my body that I despise. I can deal with my loose skin and saggy boobs, but that has gotta go, one way or another.

    I'm so sick of my belly that i'd stick a vacuum cleaner in there if I thought it would help. LOL

    I think if I had the time, money and wasn't a complete wuss when it comes to surgery (especially unnecessary surgery) and pain, I might think about it.
