Best Non Invasive Liposuction for a Morbidly Obese Male?

Hi, I am 285lbs, 5' 10", male, 25 years old. I've exercised and tried diets, nothing seems to work. I was looking at various non invasive liposuction options, as I have to work round the clock on weekdays, and resting at home is not an option, and prefer non surgical or non invasive methods. What is the best and proven non invasive liposuction option available for me ? I have fat male breasts and 52" waistline, pot belly. Losing even 5" would be great. Advance thanks and regards,

A: Options for Morbidly Obese Male?

Thank you the question.

Unfortunately, plastic surgeons will not be able to help you. You would be better served seeking consultation with your family practitioner/internists to rule out medical conditions associated with an inability to lose weight. Additional consultations with dietitians and/or personal trainers  may be helpful.

Otherwise, consultation with  bariatric surgery specialists may be helpful.

Best wishes in your quest for  weight loss and resulting improved health.

4 Months Post-op - Belly Bulge / Swelling

I had abdominal liposuction post-op 4 months. I still have swelling and there is a buldge above and below the belly button where my pants sit on the waist. I am concerned.  Other than that everything looks great.  What could it be?

A: Swelling/Bulge after Liposuction?

Thank you for the question.

Most likely the “swelling and bulge” is residual adipose tissue and/or skin. I would suggest that you follow-up with your plastic surgeon who after physical examination  can give you an accurate diagnosis and treatment options.

Best wishes.

Serious Water Retention and Cellulite 1 Year After Liposuction, What Can I Do?

Hello, I was a slim fashion model of 5'9, 130 pounds who had liposuccion done for the purpose of Adistem Stem Cell therapy for Breast Enhancement. Liposuccion was done to me Jan 2011 on my abdomen, butt, legs, thighs. I received the manual liposuccion with microcannulas. 1 year later, I am experiencing massive amount of cellulite that i didn't have before and swelling over the pubic area (similiar to the post surgery). I lost skin elasticity.I am heavily distressed.I am open to all suggestions.

A: Problems 1 Year after Liposuction Surgery?

At one year after liposuction surgery  you should not be  experiencing “serious water retention” and/or “swelling over the pubic area". I would suggest that you follow-up with your family practitioner/internist for a full medical workup and with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation of the end results of the aesthetic surgery.

Best wishes.
