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!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Liposuction in Overweight You are correct, #liposuction is not a weight loss procedure (though you do lose weight). It is more dangerous in obese patients. In your case you might want to consider a hybrid approach - lose weight by diet and exercise and when you get to a point where it doesn't seem to want to come off more then consider this procedure. Only see a board certified plastic surgeon for the best result and for safety.

Answer: Liposuction Candidate while Overweight?
Congratulations on your significant weight loss; I would suggest that you continue on your current diet/exercise regimen prior to undergoing any type of body contouring surgery. Good candidates for liposuction surgery have achieved a long-term stable weight, present with localized ( diet and exercise resistant) adipose tissue, and demonstrate good quality overlying skin.
Best wishes.

Answer: Liposuction for Obese Patient
Although there’s no substitute for good diet and exercise, sometimes there’s only so much we can do to reverse nature’s cruelties. Liposuction works best on patients who are of relatively average weight, but who need help with a problem area, or with shedding the ten pounds they regain between diets. If you have good skin quality and minimal sagging, you make an ideal candidate for liposuction.
Liposuction modifies volume by sucking out fat, and liposuction candidates need good skin tone. The procedure takes about an hour, the recovery takes just a couple of days, and there's virtually no scarring. I use several innovative forms of liposuction, including SmartLipo, in order to contour and resculpture the area while providing the most beautiful results with minimal scarring. SmartLipo, used in combination with other forms of liposuction or alone, is a procedure that uses laser light to liquefy fat and tighten the surrounding skin. Liposuction as an outpatient procedure under I.V. sedation can easily reduce the bulge that some people have in their abdomens. Because liposuction stimulates the skin to tighten, good elasticity provides a smooth contour after fat is removed.
ZERONA® is an FDA cleared alternative to liposuction, which reduces inches with no pain, no surgery and no downtime. Patients are losing between 3.6 to 5.5 inches and many are seeing even greater results when combined with a sensible diet and exercise program.
It's the perfect way to lose stubborn body fat from: neck, love handles, arms, hips, back/bra‐line, thighs, tummy/waistline and knees in this fast pace world we live in. After just six 40 minute treatments you will see inches melt away. And best of all there is no recovery or downtime so you can resume all your normal activities immediately after each treatment.

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.
