My only issue with my body is my stomach. No matter how much weight I lose, my stomach remains the same size. If I am a candidate for lipo, how many rounds will I need ? I am located in the Chicagoland area and prefer a surgeon that specializes in plus size lipo.
Answer: Liposuction in full figured women While it’s ideal to achieve a body mass index below 35 before liposuction for best results, a procedure to remove excess fat as a means of encouraging a weight loss can be helpful. The discussion becomes what is the safe amount of fat that can be removed in one procedure and will that amount reach your goals? That’s a discussion that needs to be done in person. Best

Answer: Am I a candidate for plus size lipo? Thanks for your question. The ideal liposuction candidate has localized fat deposits and quality overlying skin without significant excess skin or skin damage. It's recommended for patients getting cosmetic surgery such as liposuction to have a BMI of 30 or less in order to minimize risks and to maximize results. Best is to reach your goal weight then doing an evaluation with Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to get the best plan for you.

Answer: Plus-size liposuction Hi, thank you for your question. I understand your frustration with trying to get to your ideal body. Although, liposuction can be used to remove fat from persistent areas that are somewhat resistant to diet and exercise, it will leave you with significant excess skin. Based on your photos, you may benefit from liposuction and abdominoplasty once your BMI is closer to 30. Attempting liposuction alone at this time will leave you with a less than ideal outcome. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Answer: Liposuction Limits shesouneek. I appreciate your frustration, however the safest plan that will provide you with the best result would first be the adoption of a solid diet and exercise program to lower your BMI closer to 30 to 35. At that time you may consider liposuction with Tummytuck to address the issues with your abdomen. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Lipo Thank you for your question. Looking at your photos it looks like you are dealing with some intra abdominal fat, which you can only lose with weight loss, extra skin and a fat component. Liposuction will help reduce your size but will not address the extra skin you currently have. It is not wrong to start with aggressive liposuction, shrink you down as much as possible, continue on weight loss and then address the extra skin with a tummy tuck in the future. I would suggest an in person evaluation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to evaluate you and address all your questions, concerns and make a game plan. Best of luck to you.
