I visited a surgeon and was told that due to my BMI (36) I should do 360 Lipo in two session. Each session 2 weeks apart. I would do upper and lower abs and then come back two weeks later for flanks and back. Is this normally how this is done? Just wanting a second opinion. Thank you

Answer: Liposuction And High BMI jid8 I am sorry, however most board-certified plastic surgeons would not recommend liposuction with a BMI of 36. Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure and I strongly recommend that you try to lower your BMI to around 30 before undergoing any liposuction procedure. Studies indicate a higher complication rate in patients with a BMI over 30. Get a second opinion with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck.
