Answer: What should a patient expect from liposuction? Thank you for your question.What is frustrating for many patients to understand is that there is no exact measure for how many inches, pounds, or dress sizes a patient can expect to loose before a liposuction procedure. The goal of liposuction is to afford patients better overall body contour by removing some of the excess fat between the skin and muscular layers of the body. The reduction that patients can expect to achieve is highly dependent upon the amount of fat available for harvest, skin tone, and the bony underlying structures of the body. I caution patients from this idea that liposuction is, in any way, a weight loss procedure. The only goal of liposuction is to target stubborn localized pockets of fat, provide patients with better overall body contour and to help patients look better and fit better in their clothing. It is important that patients understand this and that they are not held up on an inches lost or weight loss goal. I hope you find this helpful and I wish you the best.

Answer: Liposuction can change your shape, no guarantee of change in measurements Liposuction should be viewed as a contouring or sculpting procedure. Removing fat between the muscle and the skin can shape areas of fullness that persist in spite of diet and exercise. It is impossible to predict how many inches you can lose with this surgery.

Answer: Loss of inches or dress sizes following liposuction Unfortunately there are no formulas for calculating or correlating loss of inches with volume of fat aspirated during a liposuction procedure. Your resulting inches is a complex result of factoring your musculoskeletal structures, skin laxity, and adipose tissue layer.
