Answer: Weight loss after liposuction Congratulations on your success so far in your weight loss journey. Yes you can continue to lose weight after liposuction. You can gain weight as well. It may be best for you to meet your weight loss goal and then decide what you would like to address at that time, as significant weight loss or gain can impact your results.

Answer: Weight loss Thanks for your question! I strongly encourage patients to be within 5-10 lbs of their goal weight prior to moving forward with surgery. That is going to ensure you achieve optimal results. Good luck!

Answer: Liposuction Candidate -- Body Contouring, Diet, Exercise, Surgery, VASER HI DEF 4D LIPO/ 360 Degree Liposculpture You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. You will likely need to lose weight first before undergoing any cosmetic procedure to get the best outcome. For best results, it is recommended to be at your ideal or stable weight before getting a sculpting liposuction procedure. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure; rather, it is for sculpting, defining and removing problem areas that cannot be removed with weight loss, diet and exercise alone. If skin is very loose before surgery, then it will need to be removed: tummy tuck/abdominoplasty for lower abdominal skin; breast lift for excess breast skin; and/or a brachioplasty for loose arm skin. In the meantime, I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a bariatric doctor or dietitian. Best, Dr. Emer
