I am a 36 year old female. Diagnosed since my early 20s with PCOS. I am 5’3” currently 133lbs, lowest weight before COVID 120. I am bumping up exercise to 4-5 days a week cause I want to go back to triathlons. Will lipo360 help flatten my belly and back? And liposuction for my upper arms as well? We’re looking at $7k and I want to know if anyone has seen NO difference for someone whose BMI is around 23.
Answer: Expectation Management for Liposuction on a BMI of 23 Patient Thank you for your inquiry and the provided details and picture. My immediate response would be, “Yes, liposuction, particularly VASER liposuction, could yield noticeable results in the belly, back, and upper arms even with a BMI of 23.” The VASER technique could especially be beneficial if you are aiming for a highly defined and sculpted appearance, like an abdominal six-pack and well-defined arms.

Answer: Liposuction for athletic women Most people think that liposuction is intended for people with lots of excess fat. This isn’t necessarily true. Yes, Lipo will remove fat, but it is a BODY SHAPING procedure, not a weight loss procedure. This means that the best candidates are people who are in good shape and have a healthy lifestyle, BUT still have some “trouble” areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. So, yes, you can probably benefit from liposuction if you want to shape your abdomen and back. There isn’t going to be a lot of fat removed, but that’s ok because targeted removal of a small amount of fat from the right places can make a big difference. But only you can decide if it will be worth it. Make sure to see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction, since your case will take a high level of expertise.

Answer: Liposuction Thanks for your question! Sometimes, "finesse liposuction" cases have the best results because it truly is body contouring. Please be sure to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck!

Answer: Liposuction at a BMI of 23 and PCOS It is hard to answer your question without seeing more detailed photos of the problem areas. The best evaluation of your situation would be a virtual live video consultation at minimum. An in-person consultation would be the gold standard. We do our best to only operate on patients who will have noticeable differences. The amount of difference is variable and may be subtle to dramatic. We try to give an accurate estimate of the results during the consultation. It all depends on how much excess fat is contributing to the unwanted fullness. In the case of PCOS, there can be some challenges. Some of the excess fullness is due to swellling / water retention and that is not treated with liposuction.
