Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

Liposuction is an effective means of addressing subcutaneous fat excess. A board certified plastic surgeon is uniquely capable of marrying your goals to reasonable post operative expectations. This is best accomplished via an in-person consultation and exam.Determining the root cause of problem areas is central to body contouring. Some patients may suffer from excess subcutaneous fat. While other patients suffer from skin excess or muscle laxity or a combination of all three. Your board certified plastic surgeon will be able to customize a surgical plan which will fit your unique issues.Good candidates are healthy and have reached a stable weight. The determination of how many inches of reduction to expect is best left to a in-person consultation.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that
removes fat under the skin to address trouble spots throughout the body. The
access incisions are small, however, the trade off is that liposuction does not
address any excess skin or any muscle laxity.The overall success of
liposuction depends on the skin retracting back after the fat is removed. The
ideal candidates are young patients with good quality, elastic skin who are at
their ideal weight and targeting stubborn areas resistant to diet and
exercise.A detailed examination will help
delineate the best surgical treatment and will advise you as to your potential change in contour with surgery. Consultation with a plastic surgeon
certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.

My answer is very general. Your results depend upon a number of variables including skin elasticity, fast location, technique used, and your genetics. Some patients may lose 2-4 inches around the waist.

John A. Perrotti, MD · Answer

Phsical examination must be performed to estimate the amount of contour change after liposuction. Best to see an American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) certified plastic surgeon with experience in liposuction.

Thank you for posting your photo with your interesting question. Liposuction is very effective at removing excess fat in women, because most of the excess fat is located subcutaneously. In order to determine how many inches that you will lose following liposuction, you will need an in person examination by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes, Dr. Richard Swift
