I'd like to have lipo on my waist, flanks, thighs and upper arms and am wondering whether to lose weight before or afterwards. I read that fat cells shrink when you lose weight, so my question is does the liposuction remove ALL cells- the full/fat ones AND the ones that have shrunk with weight loss? If that's the case I will probably lose weight before the surgery, but if it only removes the full cells then I won't lose weight first as would like to permanently remove as many fat cells as poss!

Answer: Great question There is so much misconception out there. So here is a great opportunity. First, please see a lipo specialist. Most surgeons do 20 a year, see someone who does at least 10 a week. Overall, the better shape you are going into surgery the better you will be coming out. Secondly the goal is to remove as many fat cellls as possible but maintain a thin natural look (we leave about 4mm of fat under the skin to allow a smooth result). Using technology such as vaser melts all the fat so the size of the cells do not matter!
