I know lipo is not a weight loss tool. I don't want lipo to lose weight; I want it to contour my neck and abdomen so that my body shape is nicer and clothes are more comfortable. My weight has been stable for over 15 years... I've lost 10-20 lb.s a few times, only to gain it back because it always jumps back to my "base" weight, but then it stays there. Basically, my body wants to stay right here at 180. (Female, 5'6", 42). I exercise, I am active and I enjoy basic activities such as hiking.
Answer: Liposuction does good for active patients regardless of their weight.

Answer: Liposuction evaluation Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion without photos. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Answer: Liposuction When Overweight You are probably a reasonable candidate if your weight is stable, not obese, have excessive subcutaneous fat, which is resistant to diet and exercise, like you are experiencing. If you wish to change the contours of your body. Commonly involved areas are the anterior part of the neck (under the chin), upper arms and armpits, male chest/breasts, trunk abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, inner knees, calves, and ankles.Most patients are near normal weight and are stable, and desire permanent contour changes. Patients with average weight, localized fat collections, and healthy elastic skin are the best candidates for liposuction. I would recommend that you seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can examine you in person and give you the best answer.

Answer: Liposuction candidate While surgical outcome and safety improve dramatically when patients are at an ideal and normal BMI, you may be able to still undergo the procedure. A consultation with a board certified surgeon will be able to confirm this. Best of luck
