I weigh 154 lbs. I am 5 foot zero. I want to have my arms, stomach, hips, chin, legs and butt done. How much is the average cost of full body? How long is the healing process? How much time do you need off work? Can I lose 40 lbs from liposuction? I am slowly changing my eating habits and I am more active at work and after work, will that be enough to keep the weight off?

Answer: I want to get full body liposuction. Can you tell me more about it? Based on your posted photos and height and weight, your BMI is 30. You are a good candidate for VASER sculpting of all those areas listed. All these areas can be sculpted in one surgery under I.V. sedation and tumescent anesthesia, except the chin/neck. This can be done under local anesthesia only. Your whole body can be reshaped to look more athletic with an hourglass figure. What will not happen, is that you will not loose 40lbs from surgery. You need to continue to change your eating and excessive habits to get the weight loss. You will need 10 days to 2 weeks off work. Initial healing is 2-3 weeks. The whole healing process will take 4-6 months, you will be in a compression garment for 4 weeks and compression stockings for 6-8 weeks if you need your calves and ankles done. VASER sculpting is more than just liposuction and takes more time and expertise. The average cost could be $12,000-15,000 all inclusive and a little bit more if fat grafts to the buttocks are considered. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Answer: Full body liposuction Thanks for your question and photos. Liposuction is not a way to lose weight but instead it's a process to remove excess fatty deposits in the body. Yes, it can sculpt your body and give you a slimmer shape. The recovery can range from 5-7 days for liposuction and up to two weeks for more extensive body lifting procedures. The results of body contouring are typically long-lasting provided that a stable weight is maintained. It is good to maintain a healthy lifestyle even after surgery.
