I weigh 232 pounds. How much weight can lipo take off from my stomach and abs? How many pounds of my weight can lipo take off my stomach and abs?
Answer: You will gain weight after liposuction due to fluid administration It is a common mistake to believe you will lose weight after liposuction. Because IV fluids are administered during liposuction, most patients gain weight during the procedure. Thats OK, you will look thinner after a properly done liposuction. 1000 cc's of fat weighs 2.2 pounds. Thus if 3000cc's of fat are removed during liposuction you will loose 6.6 ponds of fat. But dont expect it to show on the scale. As you recover from liposuction surgery and if you watch your diet eventually you may see the difference on the scale.

CONTACT NOW Answer: How much weight is lost after liposuction? The amount of weight loss depends on how much fat is removed. 1 Liter weights 2.2 lbs. The standard maximum amount of lipoaspirate that can be removed in one session is 5 Liters. Anything over this would require an overnight stay for special monitoring. Now the 5 Liters of lipoaspirate aren't all fat, sometimes this is 50% fat, sometimes its 90% fat. Generally, you can expect to lose 3-10lbs from one liposuction session. This may not sound like a lot because liposuction is not a fat loss procedure. It is a procedure to help target specific trouble areas that remain despite a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Answer: Weight Loss or Body Sculpting after Liposuction Liposuction is a great option to improve your shape and get rid of stubborn fat deposits. It will definitely make you look better if your expectations are realistic but it will not usually produce a significant change on the weighing scale. That being said, many patients are highly motivated by their new body shape and can lose weight by working out after the liposuction treatment. Goodluck!! Dr. Chopra

Answer: How Much Weight Can I Lose After Liposuction? Thanks for your question. Althought liposuction is not considered a weight loss surgery you can reduce the amount of fat that's in the body. The ideal candidate for liposuction are thinner patients with isolated areas of fat. However patients with larger BMI are often quite pleased with results provider the understand the limitations of the procedure. Liposuction is such a great motivator to diet and exercise to lose weight and get in shape. While you can liposuction several areas at once there is a limit to how much fat can be removed safely. Risks from liposuction increase significantly when over 5 liters of fat are suctioned out. We usually stay below this limit for patient safety. We’ve found that we’re able to achieve dramatic improvements for our patients with 2 to 4 liters of liposuction, depending on their needs.

Answer: Weight loss and Liposuction Hi! The procedure aids in in body contouring or as a good start for weight loss lifestyle. Obesity, cellulite, stretch marks, a history of “yo-yo” weight gain/loss, or loose, sagging, inelastic skin, are problems which would tend toward poor results. In fact, these problems may be worsened by liposuction and may be best addressed by other procedures such as a leg or body lift (e.g. tummy tuck) to improve the patient’s appearance. Patients should be aware that liposuction is NOT a method of weight loss and muscle toning, or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect one's metabolism. Regular exercise and diet is still recommended in maintaining good and lasting liposuction results. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Weight Loss after Liposuction I usually see about 1 pound for every Liter of fat removed. That is not a lot! However, you will loose inches, feel more comfortable in your clothing and have more effective exercise that targets other areas. For some reason abdomen and waist (love handles) are difficult to remove with standard exercise. It can be done, but my thought is that you have have to have the correct exercise protocol and the correct diet. Both of these goals are challenged by a very poor diet in our society. Overall, aggressive liposuction has a high satisfaction rate. I hope that helps. Dr. Dillon
