I am interested in getting liposuction around the waist. Am I a candidate for liposuction surgery around the waist based on my measurements. Also, what is my Body Shape or Body Type? Do I need liposuction in the waist? Am I a candidate for liposuction based on my measurements. What is my Body Shape or Type?
Answer: Procedure recommendation Thank you for your question! Based on your measurements, it sounds like a tummy tuck would be a better option for you, versus liposuction alone. However, without photos it is difficult to create a final plan for you. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon, who can assess you in person and create a personalized plan for you. Best of luck!

Answer: Liposuction is a procedure most often performed with local anesthesia often augmented with some oral sedation. From your description alone is impossible to say what sort of candidate you would be for liposuction. Provided your expectations are in line with the capabilities of the procedure you probably can have this done under local anesthesia.

Answer: Am I a candidate for liposuction surgery around the waist? Hello and thank you for your question. An in-person consultation is needed to answer your question. Based on your height and weight, your current BMI is 35, which is too high. Ideal candidates for liposuction have a normal or close to normal BMI, they have stubborn areas of adiposity that they can't get rid of despite adequate diet and exercise, and have a good skin tone with no significant stretch marks. It is important to keep in mind that liposuction is not a weight loss surgery, and is more of a tool to re-shape the body. After liposuction, you should continue to have a healthy life style with balanced diet and exercise to maintain your body weight. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon
