Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss procedure. This is true no matter the specific type of liposuction - traditional, tumescent, laser, etc. When judging your results, it is more important what you look like, not what the scale says. In some cases, the actual amount of weight loss will be minimal but your shape will be significantly better. I tell my patients to focus on how they look in the mirror and how clothes fit as opposed to the number on the... more
