Question

I was 250

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

The most important factor in choosing lipo as a solution is that the area not have too much loose skin. Removing fat will cause the skin to shrink. However, if there is too much skin, it will not shrink enough to prevent sagging and wrinkling. In that situation, removing some skin with surgical tightening would be a better solution. You'll be able to determine which is best when you schedule a consultation.

Ideally you want to get down to a BMI that is good for your height.  Do that first, and then get evaluated for liposuction.

If you can get your weight as low as possible the risks of healing will go down significantly. You would need to be down to a healthy weight and BMI before having a cosmetic procedure to insure a safe outcome. Also, being at a stable weight is key to ensure you don't gain weight back after surgery. Good luck! Dean Vistnes.Vistnes Plastic SurgerySan Fancisco Bay Area#realself #drdeanvistnes #liposuction

Sherwood Baxt, MD (retired) · Answer

Sure you could have it done, question is would that be the right thing for you. Requires an in-depth consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will be candid regarding the amount of skin shrinkage that takes place using the laser. Also, I will always delay surgery in a patient at that weight to see if they can come down
