Would I qualify for liposuction?

Liposuction is not for weight loss and it will not help unless you have localized problem areas or are looking for contouring.  Best, Dr. Emer.

    Although losing weight can be difficult, you are not a candidate for liposuction.  Your BMI is over 40 and this qualifies you as morbidly obese.  You should see a bariatric surgeon about weight loss options before considering any body contouring.  Sorry, but liposuction is not for you.

yes you could be for body contouring but not necessarily for weight loss.  You need to be seen for a consultation.  Thanks

Liposuction is not weight loss surgery,   and not an option for someone that is significantly over weight.   I would see a bariatric surgeon in your area to help you with your weight loss.   Good Luck!

You have two options: weight loss (bariatric or diet) or liposuction. Weight loss (by whatever method) is the best answer to your ultimate goal. While liposuction is not designed for this purpose, it can be used to de-bulk troublesome areas in the high BMI patient who is not interested in, or is not a candidate for bariatric surgery. It can be safely done with light sedation and local . . . no general anesthesia needed as an outpatient. It may take two stages to cover the are of concern separated by one week's time. An in person consult would be needed to see if you are a candidate. Thank you for your inquiry.
