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: Are Fat Cells Removed Permanently When Liposuction is Done? Hello and thank you for your question. The absolute number of cells removed from a given area might differ, as removing larger cells would require less of them to be removed to achieve a given volume decrease compared to smaller ones. Lipo isn’t that selective. I would suggest to be close to your goal weight at a the time of surgery, then plan on a 5-7 lbs final weight loss after your procedure. The thinner you are the better, since lipo is a contouring procedure and it is designed to make your normal contours come out from beneath the fat.

Answer: Are Fat Cells Removed Permanently When Liposuction is Done? It really doesn't matter if cells are "fat" or 'thin", the liposuction technique removes all of them. It's like cutting down a field of grain, everything goes. So you don't have to do anything different with respect to your weight gain or loss. The thinner you are the better, since lipo is a contouring procedure and it is designed to make your normal contours come out from beneath the fat.

Answer: Q:Does lipo take remove fat cells even when they are 'shrunk' or do they need to be full for it to remove the cell permanently? Liposuction destroys or reduces the population of fat cells in a treated area. These cells once gone are gone for good. One of the most important decisions a patient must make is the selection of the best board certified plastic surgeon to perform the liposuction procedure. Beyond this, the final result is largely the result of adherence to postoperative protocols to prevent complications that can largely be avoided.

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!
