Liposuction on a "skinny" person

Christine.   The best candidates for liposuction are people similar to you. It works well removing unwanted fat from areas of the body resistant to diet and exercise. In someone like yourself, body contouring can best be achieved with micro liposuction technique, utilizing smaller cannulas because you only have modest amounts of fat. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck

Lipo is not a procedure for weight loss or for overweight patients.  It's a contouring procedure that is possible for any patient that has an area of fat under the skin and would like to reduce it.  The results, will depend on the overall shape of the body, and the quality of the skin.  Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search. Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations. 

Dear gchristine,Every plastic surgeon reading your question is salivating at the opportunity to provide your liposuction.  You are the ideal candidate and the type of patient that liposuction was designed for.  Unfortunately, the procedure has been taken to the limit and, more often than not, is now perceived as a almost a weight loss option by patients.  It is actually a contouring procedure designed for exactly the problem areas that you describe.  You will have a great result.  Prices can vary widely between geographic areas, surgeon experience, and type of liposuction.  A general range of pricing in your area can be found on the realself website.  Good luck!

I perform a lot of liposuction and I have treated patients at all different BMI's.  You would have to be seen in person to see if your requests are reasonable and the results you want are achievable.  Best of luck.

Thank you for your question.  There are many people including myself that have the same concern.  No matter how much we exercise and restrict our intake, the stubborn areas don’t go away.  HiDef VASER liposculpting maybe your answer.  Not only does it remove unwanted fat in stubborn area, it defines and enhances your underlying muscles as well.  It will definitely give you a toned appearance.    Thank you and best wishes.
