I would like to know if areas like back flaps or large amounts of fat off thighs can just be cut off
Answer: Getting rid of fat Yes, it can be done, but it will leave scarring. Without seeing you in person, it is impossible to say if this is the right course of action for you. I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss your body contouring options. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Other ways to remove large amounts of fat Sometimes large amounts of fat can be removed by direct excision but this is done in conjunction with skin removal. If you have excess skin in the area as well, the skin and fat are removed simultaneously. This usually occurs when patients have lost a large amount of weight (>100 lbs). It would be best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon so that you can truly understand your options. These surgeries are best performed on patients with a BMI on the lower side.

Answer: Alternatives to liposuction to remove fat. Liposuction is by far and away the standard to remove surplus fat. Nonsurgical freezing of the fat is effective but still expensive and fairly inefficient.

Answer: Is there another way to remove large amounts of fat, other then liposuction, in specific area? Thank you for your question. Usually you do liposuction with a skin excision at the same time in many areas if you are concerned with excess skin as well as excess fat. For example, a medial or lateral thigh lift removes excess skin in those areas and liposuction can be done at same time to contour and give the best results possible.

Answer: Can liposuction remove large amounts of fat? This depends on several factors including the amount of fat, the amount of excess skin and the acceptability of scarring. Excision of skin and fat, often combined with liposuction, may be beneficial in some cases.
