There isn’t necessarily a specific number I want to be on the scale but if I had to guess, I probably need to lose around 30lbs. Could the lipo just do the trick or do I need to be closer to goal weight? Thanks :)

Answer: Goal weight varies patient to patient Your goal weight is not necessarily the same as what is considered the "ideal weight" for your height. Some women feel best at a slightly higher weight, and are able to keep stable at that weight. 30 pounds is a significant change though, and it would be best to be closer to your goal weight before any surgery. Lipo is not a weight loss technique, and lipo will not in any way achieve the same results as 30 pound weight loss. What lipo can do, however, is reshape or contour the body. It can remove fat from specific areas to change your proportions or shape, but if you truly need to lose 30 pounds and you get lipo, you still need to modify your diet so that you don't then expand the remaining fat cells you have. Think about it- if you get a bunch of fat cells removed by lipo and still eat the same way, that fat has to go somewhere, so it will end up in places you do have fat cells, making those areas fuller. No matter how aggressive the lipo is, you will have to be disciplined to maintain the results created by the lipo. That being said, you also cannot be as aggressive with lipo that is done at the same time as a tummy tuck, unless the lipo is in another area (not the front of the abdomen), such as the love handles or back, etc. I would recommend getting closer to your goal weight before having any surgery. It will give you the best chance of achieving optimal results.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Unfortunately, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure so your weight won't change much after the procedure. I recommend losing most of the weight by diet and exercise prior to having your tummy tuck to achieve optimal results. You won't have to lose 30 lb's but the closest you get to that goal weight, the better.
