Better to be high, low, or average body fat when undergoing Vaser Lipo?

Question

I'm ready to get Vaser Lipo for my abs, pects, and merman lines. If I want the best results regardless of how high or low my body fat is, should I gain body fat before doing Vaser (upward of 18%), lose body fat (below 12%) or remain at my average body fat (16-18%)?

Average or low would be better.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA.....................................

You seem to be relatively fit already so well done! I suspect from your comments that you are having the VASERlipo for sculpting which is great--one of my favorite procedures to do!  You certainly shouldn't try to gain weight/fat--that is contradictory to your goals.  I would suggest staying at about your ideal body weight and start or maintain a healthy lifestyle with good diet and exercise choices and you will do great!  You could consider using some of the fat removed to fat graft and augment some of the desired male muscle groups (e.g. pecs, delts, etc.) which is a nice adjunct to the liposculpture. Good luck!
