I am thinking about having liposuction around my stomach, lovehandles and thighs. Will I lose weight or just get a bit smaller? Overall, I am happy with my figure, but I have always had an extra 20 pounds that I haven't been able to lose through diet or exercise. Will liposuction accomplish this?
Answer: Weight lost VS Contouring Funny thing about fat. It occupies a large volume in our skin but it doesn't weigh very much! The maximum amount of fat that can be removed legally at one surgery is 5 Liters! This represents buckets of fat yet it only weighs about 11 pounds, even though the patient may now look like they have lost 60 pounds or more! Why? Because their contour is so effectively improved. Although liposuction is not a weight loss strategy, it can certainly result in patients attaining a sculpted shape they could never attain with weight loss alone.It certainly works for conquering those stubborn fat areas that don't slim down with concentrated diet and exercise.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Weight loss after liposuction The amount of weight loss depends on how much fat is removed. 1 liter weights 2.2 lbs. The standard maximum amount of lipoaspirate that can be removed in one session is 5 liters. Anything over this would require an overnight stay for special monitoring. Now the 5 liters of lipoaspirate aren't all fat, sometimes this is 50% fat, sometimes its 90% fat. Generally, you can expect to lose 3-10lbs from one liposuction session. This may not sound like a lot because liposuction is not a fat loss procedure. It is a procedure to help target specific trouble areas that remain despite a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Answer: Liposuction and weight loss Liposuction should be thought of as a body contouring procedure rather than a weight loss procedure. Problem areas are contoured as the fat is removed to improve the appearance of these areas. Depending on which areas are treated, I would not expect to lose more than a few pounds once the swelling has subsided. You should be pleased with the overall shape and appearance of the treated area though!

Answer: Liposuction is for sculpting, not weight loss Thank you for your question. Liposuction is a highly effective tool for targeted removal of fat from, waistline, tummy, back, thighs, and elsewhere. It is not, however, a method of losing weight. The maximum amount of fat that can be safely removed in a single session of liposuction is 5 liters - around 10 lbs. It is important to remember, however, that this is from very specific areas, and very different from losing the same amount from the body as a whole, via diet and exercise. While the number on the scale may not change so much, beautiful sculpting of the areas treated can be expected.

Answer: Liposuction is NOT a weight loss operation but WILL shrink you down by several inches and improve body contour Liposuction is a surgical procedure that is designed to target stubborn localized fat pockets that are resistant to even vigorous diet and exercise regimens. Unfortunately and despite many patient's hopes, liposuction is not a method of weight loss and does not generally translate to much poundage loss when patients step on the scale after surgery. Liposuction is most successful and has the highest patient satisfaction rates when it is approached as a method to eliminate unwanted fat pockets and for better body contour. Patients should not expect to loose much weight from a liposuction procedure but can expect to see a nice reduction in inches, dress size and pant size.

Answer: Liposuction The best candidate for liposuction is a patient who is at or near their ideal body weight. Liposuction is used to contour and sculpt rather than as a tool for weight loss.
