I'm not looking to lose weight, I'm actually looking to lose fats. I have a huge butt disproportionate to my size, huge saddle bags & inner thighs, and a big tummy. I don't eat big meals. My size is due to accumulated fats since the age of 8. I am 22 and asian, 156cm, 72kg. I am big-boned but currently have more than 30% fat. What treatments would be best, liposuction, liposculpt, or any other suggestions please? Thank you!!

Two liposuctions should remove a lot of fat from tummy and thighs

When you are disproportionate, it takes its toll on a patient pyschologically as well as physically. If you have been working out and dieting and reached a plateau then the liposuctions make sense to do to motivate you to work out more and diet more to lose more weight. Liposuction of the tummy would be 1 surgery and the thighs would be a 2nd one. Expect to pay $6000-7000 per surgery.

Best solution for weight

The best soloution to lower your weight would be to go on a diet and exercise regimen to tone your body and burn fat. Surgery is not the best solution.

Ways to lose fat

Although there’s no substitute for good diet and exercise, sometimes there’s only so much we can do to reverse nature’s cruelties. That’s where science comes in. No, reshaping your body isn’t as easy as going to the beauty parlor. Surgery is never 100% risk free and the healing process requires patience and determination. Liposuction is not meant to solve a chronic weight problem, nor can it turn an obese person into a svelte one, but it certainly helps.... more

Lose the most fat with diet and exercise

While it takes dedication and dicsipline and clearly isn't easy, the only great way to lose a lot of fat is through diet and exercise, not liposuction.

Liposuction is not a substitute for eating healthy or exercising

Procedures have risk. Surgical risks might even increase in patients who are overweight. If you can't decrease the weight yourself, you may find improvement by working with a nutritionist, endocrinologist if there is a hormonal problem such as low thyroid (hypothyroidism), a physical trainer who sets goals, and even seeking hypnosis. Some patients eventually have gastric stapling to make the stomach smaller. Then when you are truly eating healthy and exercising and have reduced your... more

Best treatment for fat removal of this size is diet and exercise, not liposuction.

Liposuction gets rid of localized deposits of fat. It is not a means of weight reduction. Diet and exercise is the best approach and is cheaper.

Loosing Fat

Without pictures, it is difficult to give you specific advice. If you are overweight, then weight loss through diet modification and exercise is your fist step. If you are severely overweight, then you may need a bypass procedure. Liposuction removes fat, but it is not a weight loss procedure, it is a body contouring procedure. Good luck.

Losing weight fast! [with video]

Even though liposuction is not primarily for weight loss, it can help motivate the person when they see some results in the way their body looks! The maxmum that I remove is about 10 pounds at one operation but this can make a significant difference in the apearance of an area like the hips. see video

Use liposuction to remove 2-5 pounds and not 40 pounds

Your best best is to lose weight. This is based on my estimated calculation that your ideal body weight would be approximately 115lbs. However, you are nearly 40 pounds above that weight. This is not a practical amount to remove using any plastic surgery procedure. I would strongly encourage you to lose more weight and then consider surgery.
