I'm a 300 pound woman, been trying to lose 50 pounds for the last six months, I want to know if lipo n a tummy tuck is worth it?

I would suggest, for many important reasons, that you achieve a long-term stable weight prior to undergoing any elective surgery. You will find lots of information on this website, in previous posts, related to your concerns. Best wishes.

A liposuction is worth it if you are a good candidate. At 300 pounds, I expect it would not be the procedure of choice for you. Liposuction is not a wait loss procedure. After you have lost down to a practicle weight, then the resuting areas that need lipo can be liposuctined successfully. If you cannot lose the weight, you may want to consider a lap band or even by-oass surgery. Regarding diet, habits are hard to break, but to lose weight, you must limit your simple carbohydrate intake, such as any dessert, bread particularly white), rice, potatoes, pasta, and any sugar. Andof course simple exercise such as walking is necessary, but the diet will make the largest implact.

At 300lbs, liposuction or a tummy tuck would not be appropiate. As I tell all my patients who are not at their ideal weight, plastic surgery is not for weight loss but more for body contouring. I would encourage to continue to lose weight or visit with a bariatric surgeon.
