What's the Ideal Female Weight Range for Liposuction?

Many times when someone is signifigantly overweight, even after weight loss, there is an issue with loose skin that if not dealt with will give sub optimal results with liposuction alone.  I have had many gratified overweight patients who underwent abdominoplasty coupled with some liposuction and then a later brachioplasty or removal of arm fat and skin.  Check with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to see what would be right for you.  If you are going to loose more weight you should probably do that first.

Good Luck and Congratulation on the weight you have lost,

There are many of "ide al patients" for liposuction. Usually it is a person with ideal body weight and a defined area that has excess fat. We certainly still consider other types of patients good candidates. Overweight patients should continue with diet and exercise until they hit a plateau. Gastric bypass should be considered for individuals that are more than 100 pounds overweight.
