Can I lose at least 10 lbs after lipo?

Liposuction is not a weight loss solution. It will only affect your contour and the fat under the skin not the visceral fat that is inside your abdomen. The visceral fat can only be reduced by diet and the fat under the skin is the only one that can be removed with liposuction. In some areas, the fat under the skin is hard to lose with weight loss: lower abdomen, waist in women. Liposuction is ideal for those localized fat that you have hard time losing with diet and exercising. Fat is bulky but not heavy. So you will not lose much weight on a scale but you'll lose inches.

Thank you for your question. You should expect to lose less than 5 pounds after lipo. You will see a result in the way you look and the way your clothes fit, but may not see a big difference on the scale. Lipo is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss procedure. Be sure to have a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
