Liposuction is very safe if done under local tumescent anesthesia and could make a big difference for you!
Tumescent liposuction is very safe and can be that great motivator for you to lose weight by diet and exercise. You would need at least 2 procedures for your waist and upper body and expect to pay around $6000 per surgery as a special price. Sincerely,

Liposuction can make a nice difference but will not solve your weight problem
Assuming you are otherwise healthy, liposuction can definitely make a nice difference in your figure and do so safely. However, this will not take the place of weight loss. The ideal combination is to use both. For some of my patients, the results they see after liposuction motivates them to continue improving themselves with diet and exercise and living healthier lives. Liposuction will not treat your whole body. You may start with the areas that bother...

Selective liposuction is safe in overweight patients.
Hi.
Of course, liposuction is not the solution to being overweight. If a particular area bothers you, then it can be a reasonable option. You can have a flatter stomach, for example, but you will still be overweight.
It is very safe as long as no more than 5000 cc's are removed and the procedure is done by a board certified plastic surgeon in an accredited surgical facility with a board certified anesthesiologist.

Liposuction, an ideal candidate
An ideal candidate for liposuction is one who is healthy, about ten pounds overweight, has a bulge that is not responsive to diet and exercise despite that regimen continuing. the focal area of fat deposit may be the lower tummy, upper arm, lower belly, outer thigh, but not the entire body. If it is hard to draw a line around the ending of the fat accumulation, then liposuction is not the best. Try a nutritionist and exercise trainer, lose several pounds and then reexplore.

Safety of liposuction
Liposuction is generally a very safe procedure when performed in appropriately selected patients. It is not indicated as a means of weight loss, but is intended to remove fat that is recalcitrant to diet and exercise.

Liposuction Be Safe
Large volume liposuction can be done but is quite expensive and requires hospital stay. Also recovery is 6 weeks. Very few plastic surgeons do this type of massive liposuction.

Depends on your goal
Dear Dannysgirl
Liposuction is not a weight reduction method. Liposuction is not a weight reduction method. Whatever fat is removed by liposuction will find its way back onto your body unless you change what you eat or how much exercise you do. Overweight individuals may be very good candidates for liposuction if their concern are focal fat deposits and not overall weight reduction. So if you are looking to improve say saddle bags, then you might be a good...

The best thing would be weight loss
Liposuction is agood option for the patients that have problem areas that are resistant to weight loss. You have even weight distribution and lipo will not able to treat all areas .The other fact is the limitation of the 5 litters of liposuction and which correlates to about 10 lb. Based on your height and weight you need to loose at least around 50-60 lb to be ideal weight. Liposuction is safe but not the best option for you.
