Can the excess fat that is withdrawn from my back following a liposuction procedure be saved for future cosmetic procedures? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2037819/Plastic-surgeon-opens-bank-save-fat-removed-liposuction-future-cosmetic-procedures.html
Thanks for your question.
Storage of fat after Liposuction should only be done in specialized and certified facility.
Fat that is stored at room temperature or in freezer should not be used as it most likely devitalized.

It’s been 9 months since my surgery and I still have all this skin hanging, It’s very uncomfortable to wear jeans, slacks, skirts or anything that is a little tight because my stomach/upper abdominalfolds in half and it forming a parallel line.remove3lbs from my stomach and 1lb from each arm when I’m at work or sitting on my couch I have to stick my hand through my clothes and press it between my rib cage for a few minutes to alleviate the pain because it does hurt and it’s uncomfortableplease help!
Thanks for your question.
based on your history and pictures, it seems that you may have had massive weight loss.
Patients who have great deal of skin excess would be best helped with removal of skin and fatty tissues.
This can be accomplished with extended tummy tuck and liposuction.
In some cases a vertical removal of skin may be the answer to remove this degree of skin excess in upper abdomen and to improve the waistline.

my mom has rheumatoid arthritus and her knees are under alot of pressure due to her weight mostly on the abdomen and hip area. would liposuction be a good option if not what can be an alternative, because it is highly unlikely that she can loose this much weight since she can't even exercise or workout hard. she has been walking and has changed her eating habits!!
Surprisingly even with large volume liposuction the weight of the abdominal fat removed is not significant enough to change physical symptoms due to excess weight. Most people do not know this but there is a large amount of fat within the abdomen which is not accessible through liposuction. This fat is attached to the bowels and is contained in a structure called the omentum. When someone gains weight the fat is also deposited intra-abdominal compartment. Men see this frequently with the "Beer Belly" where they can have a large abdominal protrusion but may have only a thin layer of fat on the outside. Women can also have the same process. If your mother has rheumatoid arthritis it is possible that she may be on steroid medications which can also cause changes in fat deposition and actually cause weight gain through fluid retention and other processes.
