Will Liposuction Help or Hurt a Diabetic Patient?

I am a 5 yr diabetic, which is not well controlled. I weigh 165lbs at 5'4''. Can having the surgery help or harm me?

A: Liposuction in diabetic patients

I would be very careful with cosmetic surgery. Diabetics tend to have higher complication rates, especially with liposuction. I generaly will not operate on patients whose diabetes is not well controlled.

I recomend that you talk to your family physician first about your surgical plans. Your diabetes should be well controlled before having any cosmetic surgery.

Percentage of Bad Liposuction Results?

Hi. I'm 46 (no kids). I was effortlessly thin...till 41. Gained 10 lbs mostly in middle. One day, I'm sold on Liposuction, the next I read a horrifying review (even with certified surgeons).

I care more about what I look like naked than with clothes. Assuming I have a good dr., is there any way to gauge my chances? How common is the loose, uneven result? What percentage of women end up with loose skin, lumpiness with tummy lipo?

A: No Lipo

After reviewing your photo, I believe the majority of your problems are from loose or stretched muscle. You can try some core strengthening exercises. If that doesn't work (I don't think it will), you may be consider a mini tummy tuck It all depends on how stretched the muscles are which can only be fully appreciated by through an examination by a plastic surgeon. I don't see alot of extra fat that can be removed by liposuction; it could potentially make it worse.

I see alot of patients with similar findings... half choose mini TT and the other half choose a modified full TT. The majority are very satisfied with their results.

Does Back Fat Removal Help Decrease Waistline?

What if you don't have much body fat on your abs but hold it on your lower back? If you remove the fat from the lower back does your waist become smaller?

A: Liposuction of back and hips

Removing fat from your sides and lower back can accentuate your waist, especially if done with a tummy tuck. By removing fat from the lower back, the transition from your back to your buttock is accentuated, giving you more shapely curves not only from the front view, but from the side profile as well. In the right patient it works great!
