Liposuction may help but without active weight loss you will eventually come back to the same weight. For the best results patients need to also maintain weight loss. The brain will be stimulated to increase appetite and consume more calories after surgical removal of fat. Unless you take an active role and get on the scale daily there’s a high chance six months later your weigh 165 pounds again. Delivering consistent quality liposuction results is more difficult than most people believe. This includes plastic surgeons. Results are permanent and a reversible Define the most talented inexperience provider I suggest patients have multiple in person consultations. During consultations as each provider to show their entire collection of before and after pictures. Simply seeing a handful of preselected sample pictures is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider. An experience provider should have no difficulty showing you a minimum of 50 sets of before and after pictures of a common procedure like abdominal liposuction. Highly experienced surgeons when I’m hundreds or even thousands. Personally I view the torso as a single anatomic units and either treated the entire torso or don’t treat the torso at all. Spot treating the torso leaves people with an abnormal unnatural fat distribution that is undesirable. A full tour so includes a bribe them in, lower abdomen, love handles, waste, fullback and under arms.

Spot treating the torso leaves people with an abnormal unnatural fat distribution that is undesirable. A full tour so includes a bribe them in, lower abdomen, love handles, waist, full back and under arms. For some individuals it should also include the lower back and pubic area. For men it should include the chest. Spot treating or partially treating the torso inevitably leads to transition zones from treated to untreated areas that look unnatural and this is especially true in chubby people or those who have substantial amounts of subcutaneous fat. Spot treating or partially treating the torso inevitably leads to transition zones from treated to untreated areas that look unnatural and this is especially true in chubby people or those who have substantial amounts of subcutaneous fat. If someone subcutaneous fat layer is one and a half inch you can expect it to go down to about 1/2 inch with well done Liposuction. Having your waist have a subcutaneous fat thickness of 1/2 inch the transitions to the back having an inch and a half of that makes the back look wide and the transition looks like someone had partial liposuction. The best analogy I can use for this is painting a house. If you’re painting a house you should probably paint all the walls of the house the same color. Simply treating the problem areas is a bit like partially painting a house but with a new color. Finally I recommend reading all reviews on various physician review website avoiding providers so they need significant number of justified negative reviews. The absence of justified negative reviews is more important and more telling than having an abundance of positive reviews. Do not make a deposit or commit the surgery until you’re finished all your consultations or feel very certain you found the most town to the an experience provider in your community. Once done poor results from liposuction cannot be corrected with revisions. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
