"I am 29. I'm in pretty good health. No diabetes or HTN. I had gastric sleeve and lost 70 lbs but I have gained 50 back. I'm not too unhappy with my body but I would like to have a coke bottle shape again. I'm mostly interested in lipo. No tummy tuck since I haven't had kids yet. I'm 5'5 and weigh 230. With spanx on I can get the shape I want but would just like a smaller waist, no tummy and the hump on my backside gone. Would you do surgery on me. I have photos. They are graphic"
Answer: Plus size patients enjoy the benefits of lipo also. Liposuction of your full abdomen, hips/shelf around the back side would make an amazing improvement in your shape. It can be done under local tumescent lipo and cost roughly $7000 on special. It would be such a great motivator to keep on losing weight and exercising. Sincerely,David Hansen,MD

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you will achieve better results with tummy tuck to correct the sagging skin excess and fat tissue, getting a flat and stronger abdomen with a liposuction and Dominican butt lift transferring the fat that we get to your butt molding and improving your gluteal volume and projection.For safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal. Therefore, you must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI, for this reason I recommend you to loose weight before get this procedure done.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.

Answer: Liposuction Hi! For your guidance, obesity, cellulite, stretch marks, a history of “yo-yo” weight gain/loss, or loose, sagging, inelastic skin, are problems which would tend toward poor results in liposuction alone. In fact, these problems may be worsened by liposuction and may be best addressed by other procedures such as a leg or body lift (e.g. tummy tuck) IN CONJUNCTION with liposuction to improve the patient’s appearance.

Answer: Plus size wants lipo only and sculpting I think you be better served by about 30 lbs of weight loss or more prior to surgery. This will allow for a better result and will make the liters removed more meaningful in your overall shape.Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent. Find a board certified plastic
