Answer: BMI too high for surgery I recommend you begin a low fat diet, core exercises such as sit-ups, planks, pilates and start wearing an abdominal binder. You may also want to consult a bariatric surgeon. Liposuction can be done and can remove 10 lbs during one session. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear Exciting969141, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, you should reach goal weight prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
