Fitness and weight and fat content are not strictly related to each other. Studies have shown that fitness is more important than weight or body fat. This is even more true for body conrouting procedures. The most important thing is to have a healthy, stable lifestyle. You should have a reasonable, enjoyable and sustainable diet and exercise or activity program. Each individual needs to be assessed within the context of his or her own situation. You should be stable for at least 6 months before determining if you are a candidate for any body-contouring procedure.
At this point, you should consult carefully and thoroughly with a plastic surgeon to see the anatomical make-up and constraints you have, and also what result you will be happy with. Your surgery can then be tailored to your individual anatomy and desires. Not all patients however, even having achieved a healthy and stable lifestyle, will be candidates for surgery. Some problems do not have reasonable or acceptable surgical solutions.Any surgical plan should be customized to your particular situation.
