Liposuction Candidate?

Thank you for the question. A good liposuction candidate is a patient who presents with diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue isolated to specific areas. These patients are not looking for a weight loss solution. On the other hand " ideal weight” can be somewhat arbitrary and is not an absolute criteria in determining candidates for the procedure. Good skin elasticity is also an important attribute of the patient undergoing liposuction surgery.... more

THERE IS NO TYPE OF LIPOSUCTION THAT WILL MAKE SKIN GO AWAY

Hi there- I love the VASER- I think it is the most effective and safe of the liposuction options out there. Without a doubt. But the technology does not allow for miracles.... If you have loose, stretchy skin and a loose belly from pregnancy, you will likely need a tummy tuck. Visit a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery for a consultation-

Vaser liposuction candidates

From your description - NO! Sounds more like a full tummy tuck. But NO PHOTOS NO REAL WAY TO ADVISE! Go see 3 boarded plastic surgeons in your area. From MIAMI Dr. B

Liposuction candidate

Without evaluating you, knowing your height and weight and medical history, it would be difficult to say whether you would be a good candidate for Vaser or for any other liposuction technique.

Lipo candidates should be close to ideal weight

Whether with VASER, lasers, or otherwise, liposuction is always for spot contouring of areas resistant to change with diet and exercise. Large volumes of fat removal with liposuction is risky to do and the long-term results unpredictable. With loose skin especially after pregnancy, the answer is usually a tummy tuck instead of liposuction.
