Can someone get a model figure body with liposuction even though before the procedure he was somewhat fat?

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.  

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

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.

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

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 

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. Every body is different and your desired board certified plastic surgeon has to help you to achieve your desired results, besides that it is very difficult to get someone else's appearance, because of what I said before, every person is different in shape, size and weight..

No, someone can not get a "model figure body" with liposuction.  Liposuction is designed to treat areas of localized fat not make someone overall skinny.  It is unrealistic to expect to look 20-30 pounds lighted after liposuction.  I would achieve your desired weight prior to the procedure and then use the procedure to "fine tune" your weight loss results.

Thank you for your question and simply put liposuction is not a diet procedure nor is it a replacement for good diet and exercise habits though it does sculpt fat from areas of excessDr Corbin

You ask a good question.  The potential for improvement defers from person to person since in the end the potential for change is limited by your natural physiognomy after the appropriate and available fat is removed. Liposuction will not tighten your muscles or skin so the improvement you get is limited to that which can be achieved by removal of the subcutaneous fat (fat right beneath the skin).  Often this is dramatic, other times subtle depending on the amount of fat to be removed.Discuss realistic expectations with your ABPS Bd Certified plastic surgeon and review photos of other patients.  Enjoy the improvement and eat healthy and exercise!Jon A Perlman MD FACSCertified, Am Bd of Plastic SurgeryMember, Am.
