Can you lose more weight after liposuction and still maintain the same contour?

November 17, 2015
Asked By:sunnyssg in Etobicoke, ON

I am 5'8", 29 years old female with an hour glass shape. I am thinking about a full body liposuction, just to get myself started on a weight loss journey, I want to use it as a kick starter, first I want to know how much weight is typically lost if the procedure is done over multiple areas? Why is it not possible to treat lipo as a weight loss means and undergo multiple lipo suctions on the same region until the ideal body fat percentage is reached?
