Is there a minimum weight where you reject doing liposuction?

Thank you for the question.While there are no limitations to weight when talking to patients about liposuction there are a few things that may directly relate to weight when considering liposuction.First liposuction is a sculpting procedure not a debunking weight loss procedure.  Therefore the thinner the patient the more successful the outcome.Second with increased weight and BMI come higher risk of complication of any procedure ie DVT and PE ext....Third the maximum liposuction a surgeon can do without admitting a patient is 5000 cc of aspirate and that may not be enough to show much diffetence in larger patient.I hope my answer helped clarify few things.Best regardsNagi T Ayoub MD, FACS

It really depends on the individual, being underweight according to BMI does not necessarily mean unhealthy. If you have an isolated fat deposit that your surgeon thinks can be addressed with liposuction and your overall health is good then you should be a candidate for the procedure. The only way to know for sure is to book a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon near you to see what your options are. Best of luck!
