No crash diet before lipo
Crash diets can rid your body of good nutrients and you may not be as healthy to heal after liposuction. it is very hard to maintain your weight after a crash diet and after liposuction you may easily gain it all back unless you modify your lifestyle and reset your goals seriously. You may need nutritional counseling to help keep the weight off, and a trainer to help you keep up exercise.

Loosing very fast is not very healthy. Watch out and do not jeoperdize your health. You want to loose about 16 lb per month. Set realistic goals for yourself, so that you do not get diappointed.
Once you reach your ideal weight and is stable , you can then have liposuction. All liposuction techniques use the Tumescent technique.

Tumescent Lipo

Liposuction
Patients who are near their target weight are certainly better candidates for liposuction. It is very important you are seeing a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Doctors who are not trained will only offer lipo which can in some cases be a mistake. Be smart about your weight loss and do it safely.
