Hi, I am scheduled for abdominal, flank, and back liposuction in April. I am 33 years professional old black female, 5 ft 10 in, 215lbs,no children. My weight is stable, but I have always desired a smaller abdomen. I am a well-managed type 1 diabetic (H1c 7%), cholesterol ratio 2.1, controlled BP, no complications, exercise 4 days a wk for 20 min a day, and I eat a healthy diet. I am nervous about the results. Are the results of this program realistic? Thank you.

Answer: Would these results for abdominal liposuction be realistic? You may be able to achieve those results. However, you will need a surgeon who will remove the 5 liter maximum to have a reasonable chance.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Liposuction Can Give Contour Liposuction can give contour and shape and resize a localized pocket or large area of fat, however, if you do not continue a healthy lifestyle with proper exercise and diet, the liposuction results will not be maintained. Also, if your skin is loose to begin, you may only get a small amount of tightening (if any) after the procedure. Nobody can give an accurate plastic surgery simulation of the final results, anyone that does would not be the person I chose to go to. No results can be guaranteed. If your expectations are to be smaller in the area treated with a smaller shape and improved contour, then you will be happy if the surgery goes well. If you have other expectations, I would reconsider having the procedure. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.
