Question

Can someone get a model figure body with liposuction even though before the procedure he was somewhat fat? Let’s say you weighed 180 pounds, and lets say right after the procedure can you look like you lost 20-30 pounds of fat from your stomach? Doctors told me that once the fat cells are removed with liposuction even if you do not change your eating habits and eat the same like did before you will not gain back the fat, once the fat was removed from the body and stomach?

Liposuction is not an alternative to healthy eating and exercise. It will treat 'stubborn' or localized 'problem' areas. Some procedures like Hi-Def lipo can give a little more definition to the abd muscles, but it cannot be done throughout the body to give someone a 'model' body.Be wary of anyone that does tell you that it can do that, unless you have very localized areas limited to a couple of areas on your body.Best.

yes it is possible via liposculpture.  This is artistic contouring of body and sculpting that depends on years of experience and having a cosmetic eye for beauty and proper technique and cannula.

It is important to have realistic expectations and go for a consultation so that an examination can be performed.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Liposuction alone will not give the contour and does not replace an unhealthy diet. Dedication to a very strict diet/exercise routine is necessary. He could be a great candidate for body sculpting and hi definition procedures, with the use of VASER ultrasonic liposuction. I suggest consulting with a highly trained Cosmetic Surgeon who specializes in body contouring/fat transfer. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.  The fluctuation in weight that is seen is due to fat cells that shrink and grow.  You will not gain weight in the areas of the lipo as dramatically as before, but areas where fat cells were not liposuctioned will be directly affected.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
