Hi I have an eating disorder, but I need to lose twenty pounds. I can't find a doctor that will do a liposuction on me. They are like, there is nothing to suction. I am like, I have lots of fat. Help.
Answer: If several plastic surgeons don't feel liposuction is in your best interests is very likely they are correct. From the description it sounds like you are at ideal body weight. If several surgeons feel I cannot help you with liposuction it probably means they cannot.

Answer: Eating Disorder Patient Feels She Needs Liposuction My sympathies. The advice given on this page by many doctors should be very helpful to you. A thin person may have some localized pockets of fat, such as hip saddlebags that would look better after liposuction, but since liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss, patients who are truly overweight should lose weight first. Eating disorders such as anorexia are quite serious and patients can actually starve themselves thinking they are fat when they are not. So you should not be looking to a doctor, plastic surgeon or otherwise to help you lose weight or get liposuction. Since you have already identified a problem, an unspecified eating disorder, you should spend your time and energy understanding that, and staying healthy. Once you get more perspective, then you can more objectively examine your body image.

Answer: Can I get liposuction? Some patients certainly will go to multiple surgeons until they get the answer that they are looking for. With due respect, and of course without a photograph, if several board certified plastic surgeons have suggested that you are not a good candidate for liposuction, perhaps there may be some validity to this common consensus. I wish you the best of luck.

Answer: Normal BMI and liposuction Your insight is good in that you recognize you have an eating disorder. The key word you used is "need" and that is something you should discuss with your primary care physician. Unless the fat is localized as others have mentioned there are healthier ways than surgery to help you
