How do I know when I qualify for liposuction?

Thank you for your enquiry.

Liposuction should not be considered as a treatment for
being overweight or a means to lose weight. In fact best candidates for
liposuction are those who are at their ideal weight but have localised fat
deposits which they cannot get rid of despite regular exercise and keeping a
balanced diet.

Please do not consider surgery until you are within normal
BMI, as any surgery at this stage would not only leave you unsatisfied but will
put your life at risk and also increase the risk for complications during and
after surgery.

Best wishes

Unfortunately, Liposuction is not the answer to total body weight gain. Liposuction is an excellent procedure for someone closer to normal body weight with localized areas of fat deposits such as the abdomen, thighs, back, neck and arms.I recommend a good diet and excercise program watching calorie intake to reduce your weight closer to the normal weight for your body type and height prior to consulting a board certified plastic surgeon.
