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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Depending on your situation, liposuction alone, or a skin excision procedure (ie. tummy tuck, body lift) may be most appropriate. When there is extra fat with little to moderate skin laxity, liposuction alone, especially SmartLipo laser liposuction, can be very effective.
Yes, many times an excision procedure will be better especially in patients with severe skin laxity. Best of luck with your decision to move forward.

The only reason I can think of to have muscle weakness after liposuction would be the layoff from athletic activity during convalescence. I think this will pass very quickly.

Because of added efficiency doing more than one area liposuction will save some money. Whether not all the areas you list in your specific case should be done is another matter. This is something for the judgment of your surgeon.
