I had Liposuction of my arms, flanks, and abdomen two years ago. Loved the results except for slight ripples in my lower stomach. Fast forward to now. My eating and exercising habits have not changed that much and yet all the fat is back in the same places it was removed. The new plastic surgeon says the first doctor didn't take enough fat out. He also advises me not to try to lose weight before I have the lipo this time. In contrast, my first doc says to lose the weight before the procedure. Your advice/thoughts?

Answer: Lose the weight first This is a very common question. If you are planning to lose weight you should always do that prior to liposuction. But you need to be realistic. Will you kep that weight off? If not then it is better not to lose it before liposuctioning.

Answer: Healthy stable lifestyle The most important thing is to be at your optimal healthy and stable lifestyle as far as your diet, exercise routine and activity level. Be as fit as you can possibly be. Everyone will have a different body appearance and metabolism. Weight is less of an issue. You shouldn't loss weight just to loss weight before your surgery, only to return to old habits that make your weight go up after. Likewise, you shouldn't neglect your lifestyle and habits if you are really not at your optimal lifestyle because you think liposuction is going to cure you. It won't. Look critically and honestly at your lifestyle. Also, remember that nothing, including surgical results, lasts forever.
