Hello! I am a 26 year old female, am 5ft 8in, weigh 200lbs, 38C chest, 37 inch waist, and wear a size 14. I would like to do full body liposuction and was wondering how much weight I should lose before going under the knife. I would like to go down to a size 8...In my adult life I have never worn any article of clothing under a size 10. How much weight should I lose to meet my liposuction goal? My legs are very thick, is there liposuction of the calves?
Answer: How Much Weight Should I Lose Before Full Body Liposuction Vaser liposuction, also known as Vaser #lipo, LipoSelection or Liposuction, is an advanced body #contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, #Vaser lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently #reshape your body. There are three types of #Vaser Lipo. Each benefit patients differently depending on their needs. However, vaser liposuction is NOT a method of #weight loss or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect one's metabolism. It is usually recommended that patients who have recently experienced weight loss and massive weight loss (#MWL) remain consistent at their weight for at least six to twelve months prior any cosmetic surgery. Such will better ensure longer lasting results of the procedure without risking the fluctuation and stretching of the skin tissue. An ideal #candidate for Vaser Liposuction is a person in good health who seeks a minimally invasive way to remove stubborn fat with less downtime than traditional #liposuction. Vaser is ideal for those seeking improved definition of muscles and contouring. Those who seek increased sculpting of are ideal vaser lipo candidates.It's best to begin consulting with a board certified plastic surgery to learn if you are a candidate for liposuction. If so, you will then learn more about which #technique will work best for you and your goals. It is important you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with #vaser #liposuction. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation.

Answer: Full body liposuction usually takes 3-4 procedures.
If you've lost weight already by dieting and exercising and reached a plateau, then lipo can be done anytime now since it is a great motivator. Usually the abdomen and hips(flanks) are done in 1 procedure; the thighs and buttocks in another; the midback, axillae and arms in a 3rd procedure; and the knees, calves, ankles and neck/jawline in a 4th. Each run roughly $5-6,000 on special and can be done a few days apart. All this is dependant on doing lipo under local tumescent (not general anesthesia) and you being in good health otherwise, etc... Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD

Answer: How Much Weight Should I Lose Before Full Body Liposuction?
I think that losing 30 lbs or so would probably give you the best result, provided that 5 liters of lipoaspirate is removed. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Liposuction on the whole body?
Hello and thanks for your post. Your body mass index is 30.4 and this would make you have higher risks with liposuction and other types of cosmetic surgery. Lowering your weight and BMI to around 25 would reduce your risks. It may not be realistic for you to lose this much weight, but getting the BMI below 30 would help. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Answer: Weight Loss and Liposuction To achieve the best results, patient should be at their goal weight as liposuction is not a form of weight loss. Liposuction removes the fat pockets and contours the body
