Liposuction vs. toning exercises?

It is difficult to give advice without any pre-operative photos, but from your description it seems you would be an excellent candidate for liposuction! After recovering from lipo, you will be fine to resume toning exercises. Make sure you find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that is experienced in the field.All the best,Dr. JSB

Hello, it's true that liposuction targets localized fat tissue, so if you just can't get rid of that fat, and you plan on exercising, then you surely are a great candidate.

Your description makes it sounds as though your the ideal candidate. He seemed fit in the amount of fat relatively modest.

Yes, we feel toning exercises are always best BUT, there are certain areas that do not respond no matter how hard you work at the gym.  Liposuction is an answer but you must do due diligence to be sure your surgeon is an expert in this procedure.

Liposuction may better be termed liposculpture.  Best results are seen in those that are close to ideal body weight but have a problem area or two such as you describe.  Exercising preoperatively will definitely improve your result.  Postoperatively, you will want to limit vigorous exercise for a a short time period and then may resume full activity.  Cellulite will not respond to liposuction, unfortunately.  It sounds like you have done a good bit of research.  The next step would be a consultation with a plastic surgeon.  While many may market ultrasound-assisted liposuction or laser lipo, I don't think there is good evidence to support these over traditional liposuction.  The skill of the surgeon is probably going to make a bigger difference.  For more information on liposuction, please visit the link below. 

Good morning, a procedure that can give you a better result for wht you're looking for is lipo with laser, by doing this, the fat deposits fat are disolved and the skin appearance would look more even, improving the elasticity and quality of the skin.
