I am 5'5 and 125 pounds. I want to get liposuction on my stomach, my slight muffin top, my banana roll beneath my butt, and my arms. I am worried I am too thin and will get bumps and ridges if I undergo this procedure. What do you think?

Answer: Am I too thin for liposuction? (Photo) The goal of liposuction is to remove fat in those areas which accumulate despite diet and exercise, thus recalibrating the fat stores in a more favorable fashion. Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent. If you find a very experienced surgeon, there should not be contour issues even in thinner patients. I will say that sometimes healing is not perfect, and some results are clearly not technique related.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Am I too thin for liposuction? Thank you for your question. The ideal liposuction candidate has localized fat deposits and quality overlying skin without significant excess skin or skin damage. Fat can then be removed to strategically sculpt the body and accentuate feminine curves. The skin then retracts over the new shape to give the final result. You appear to be a good candidate for liposuction contouring of your abdomen, waist and back to give you a more lean appearance and to maximize feminine curves. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Liposuction Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for waistline contouring liposuction of your abdomen, flanks, and lower back. This can greatly improve your overall shape with a smaller waist. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Liposuction Candidate--VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting You appear to be a candidate for liposuction. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
