I am a thin patient who has been recommended liposculpting to fix rippling from lack of breast implant coverage (52kg/163cm). I have no excess fat but the surgeon will take what she can from knees, flanks and inner thigh (i.e.outer thigh and buttocks will be untouched to retain feminine curves). Am I at greater risk of lumps/uneven result vs a curvier woman? My surgeon has showed me some successful liposculpting pics but always larger women.

Answer: Liposculpture on a thin patient - am I at greater risk of lumps/uneven results? Hello @trianglesquare, thank you for your question. To make an informed recommendation, more information is needed. Many skinny women choose liposculture because it permits the decrease in an orderly manner of the body volumes to achieve a better silhouette. A consultation is vital to establishing a surgical plan that meets your needs, meets your expectations, and takes into account what is possible. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Contour irreglarities Contour irregularities are a risk of liposuction. They can occur when too much fat is removed. It can lead to asymmetries, loose skin, and a dimpled look to the treated areas. If you are unsure if you are a good candidate you can visit with other experienced board certified plastic surgeons near you to listen to opinions.
