Hi, I'm 5'11'', 32, and 205lbs male, A few years back I went from 240 to 170 and now back at 205. I"m going in for lipo of the side flanks, breast area, and a tummy tuck. What should I expect as far as pant size change? Weight change?
Answer: Weight and Size Changes After Male Lipo and TT The shape is heavily dependent upon how the TT is performed and how effectively the sides and back are liposuctioned. I have observed that the buttock looks similar in volume after about 4 weeks.The waist can be improved by several inches with a TT and liposuction of the flanks. The number of inches lost will depend a great deal on your choice of surgeon. The weight generally remains very similar. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: #tummytuck #liposuction It is hard to say how much your weight and pant size will change after this type of procedure. Certainly the more fat and hanging skin you have to remove the greater the difference will be. If you have an abdominal pannus that hangs down your weight change could be 10 pounds or more. If it does not hang down the weight change would be significantly less. There are a lot of things that contribute to your weight such as intra-abdominal fat that are not affected by a tummy tuck with liposuction so the weight loss from surgery is frequently less than you would expect. If your weight is volatile varying up and down 30 to 40 pounds or more you should not have the surgery until your weight has been stable for many months.

Answer: Liposuction Facts and Weight Change Results--VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting This is difficult to answer without pictures. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, rather it is for sculpting and defining and removing problem areas that cannot be removed with weight loss and diet / exercise alone. With skin laxity, a tummy tuck or lifting procedure could be performed at the same time. 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, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a high definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Body weight after tummy tuck and liposuction Dear alex.arellanno24,it is hard to predict how much weight will you loose without an examination. Usually there is a 5000cc limit for a liposuction. Your body weight will also be reduced by the weight of the removed skin. You should consult with your plastic surgeon regarding the predicted postoperative weight.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Weight loss? Thanks for the question, liposuction should be considered a body contouring and not a weight loss operation. That being said, my patients go on a meal plan we have had designed for post operative healing and with that our patients tend to lose about 8 lbs and 4 dress sizes. Men are different, probably because they dont follow the meal plan like the woman do and men tend to wear their pants at different levels so its harder to predict changes in pant size
