Losing Weight Before or After Liposuction?

Thank you for the question.

I recommend that patients be at their long-term “stable"  weight before and after liposuction surgery. This will allow the surgeon to treat the truly diet and exercise resistant areas and will prevent postoperative changes at that detract  from the results or require further surgery.

I hope this helps.

There is no correct answer to this. Liposuction is ideal for the patient who has achieved a stable weight with a balanced level of diet and exercise. Liposuction is ideal to contour certain areas of excess fatty deposits. It is not appropriate to try to remove every single fat cell with Liposuction as this will give an undesireable result.

Hello,
Liposuction removes fat but not the ability to enlarge the fatty cells that are left. You shouldn't seek to have all fat cells removed as the appearance is not attractive. So as you see, this is a balancing act.
I advise my patients to get to a weight that they feel they can maintain before liposuction. People have a "resting" weight that their bodies tend to maintain given a stable diet and exercise program. Losing weight below this before surgery means you will likely gain weight afterward and change the result of your liposuction.
Liposuction is a contouring procedure and done in the right circumstances it tends to work. The doctor that says the first didn't remove enough is speaking out of ignorance unless he examined you before the first doctor operated. I don't know if I would trust him if I were you.
