Female - 250 pounds, 5 feet&10 Inches. I've been dealing with weight issues since grade school. I am now 26 and I think I am finally winning. I still have some problem areas that I CANNOT get rid of. My belly and underarm fun-bags are still being mean to me, no matter how much I lose. I am currently in the 250 range and constantly losing. What's the ideal female weight range for liposuction to hit target areas? Is weight a factor? Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Answer: Ideal weight for liposuction
IF you are realistic and desire liposuction on these areas only, then you can have them at any time as long as you have realistic results without weight loss in mind. However, if you are continuing to lose weight, I would recommend continuing on that path until you have achieved a stable weight (hopefully for six months or so). By the way, the textbooks would say your ideal weight would be around 150 lbs (plus or minus 10-15%) and I am guessing that sounds unrealistic (that's everyone's response).

Answer: Chances are you'll need more than 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, Dr T
