Answer: Liposuction for Obese Patient?
Your best result from any surgery is when your weight is stable. Having said that, I have seen patients approach this type of surgery from two different angles. Some patients, like you, become stuck and want to do a procedure which then motivates them to return to the gym and keep working to lose more weight. They may have to do another surgery later, but it gets them over that hump. Others prefer to wait until they have achieved their target weight before having their surgery. Either way seems to work well.

Answer: Why Do You Want To Get Liposuction?
That's great news about your weight loss! It's wonderful to hear that you're aiming to achieve a healthier weight.
Why do you want to get liposuction? If you want to get liposuction to lose weight, then you'll be disappointed - it will not make a significant difference. You may lose just a couple of pounds, but you can definitely do that on your own without the risks related to surgery. In addition, you may find that your skin becomes loose with your natural weight loss, and in this situation, only a tummy tuck can address this.
In general, however, it is best to achieve a normal and steady BMI before undergoing liposuction because it's safer for you and you'll achieve better results. Wishing you all the best in your weight loss - you can do it!
