I underwent liposuction on July 14th and was expecting my period to arrive shortly after, but it has been almost two weeks and there is no sign of it. I had the procedure done under local anesthesia and targeted my lower and upper abdomen as well as flanks. I am confident that I am not pregnant.
Thank you for your question regarding liposuction. It is not uncommon for surgery of any kind to disrupt menstrual cycles. The release of stress hormones during surgery can impact the menstrual cycle, although it is less likely with local anesthesia compared to general anesthesia. Give yourself about 3 months for your cycle to return to normal. If it does not, it may be advisable to consult with your gynecologist, although it is unlikely that you will need to do so. Always seek the expertise of a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
It is unlikely that your missed period is directly related to your surgery. Psychological tension following the surgery could contribute to changes in your menstrual cycle. Pregnancy is also unlikely, but if you have concerns, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider. Your period should return to normal within 2-3 months. Wishing you all the best.
Surgery and anesthesia can affect hormone levels, potentially causing irregular periods. Allow your body time to recover and follow up with your surgeon and OB/GYN if symptoms persist.
Stress from surgery can disrupt menstrual cycles, but they should return to normal as the body heals. Contact a gynecologist if there are concerns.
