30 lbs with liposuction?

Liposuction, or even better, BodyTite are used to remove fat cells that are stubborn to diet and exercise. Not only can the fat be removed but the skin can also be tightened. At the same time, it is important that all prospective patients need to have detailed examination. All need to remember that these procedures are for body contouring and not for weight loss.I have been performing BodyTite Liposuction for over 5 years and it is s great technique for fat removal as well as skin tightening.Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Liposuction can make dramatic changes in body contour, but you cannot lose any dramatic amount of weight with it.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

For best results, it is recommended to be at your ideal or stable weight before getting a sculpting liposuction procedure. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, rather it is for sculpting and defining and removing problem areas that cannot be removed with weight loss and diet / exercise alone. With skin laxity, a tummy tuck or lifting procedure could be performed at the same time. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a bariatric doctor or dietitian. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear sxq2221,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, liposuction is used tore move the extra fat and not to lose weight. You can only remove 5000cc of fat in one session. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Liposuction is NOT a weight loss operation and should never be offered to the patient under that premise. While fat that is suctioned obviously has mass, the degree of weight removal that occurs even after a safe HIGH volume liposuction is rarely more than 5-7 lbs, and usually less. Some of your weight is likely being carried in your omentum/visceral fat, the fat that is inside the abdominal cavity near your organs. This fat is NOT accessible to liposuction. It is probably best that you consult with a physician who is an expert in medically supervised weight management to help you lose and maintain weight in a safe manner. Then when you have plateaued your weight at a safe range, you can consider lipo or a tummy tuck for appropriate body shaping.

Congratulations on losing weight! Unfortunately, liposuction is a shaping procedure and not a weight loss procedure. Liposuction usually removes just a few pounds at most each time and does not help you lose fat inside your abdomen which often carries a large majority of the weight. Dieting and exercise is best to lose weight and in a natural distribution. Liposuction can then be performed to improve the shape in hard-to-reach areas. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery@drjohnsonlee

Thank you for your question. Liposuction is not a weight loss operation  and can not be considered for your goal of loosing 30 lbs. Best option is diet and exercise. Please see dietitian and trainer for help if needed. Also talk to your physician to see any hormonal imbalance etc.

Congratulations on your weight loss :) Unfortunately there are no pictures so I cannot give you an exact answer. There are areas in your body where the fat is “resistant” to dieting and working out. When these areas undergo liposuction, patients tend to be very happy with their looks. They then become very motivated and many tell me that they lose additional weight more easily because of this. Since I’ve lectured nationally and internationally on the safety of high volume liposuction (when you use certain high tech techniques) I have a lot of experience in removing fat. You have to check with your plastic surgeon to see what kind of experience they have. In the state of Florida, there are different limitations of the volume of fat that can be removed at one time depending on what type of surgical center or hospital this is performed at. I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video. 

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
Congratulations for  the weight loss, unfortunately liposuction does not work to lose weight, just to shape the figure, it is advisable to consult with a nutritionist to bake a nutritional plan, and you can achieve the desired goal.
I hope this answer will help youMy best wishes for you...
