I am 40y/o- no bad habits- no smoking drinking, drugs ever!! gained 30lbs post hysterectomy 5 years ago. I went from 125lbs and a 36C to 155lbs and 36 DDD. I have never been this big, not even pregnant. Will smartlipo dissolve my fat or leave me bumpy and disappointed?
Answer: Liposuction is great for contouring, not for weight loss A real and meaningful answer to your question would require seeing what you look like. It would make sense for you to schedule a virtual consult with a lipo expert and share your photos. The video shows and explains how and why lipo is effective for different areas of the body.

Answer: Weight gain, exercise, diets, and liposuction Hello Priusv81,Thank you for your question.Congrats on your healthy lifestyle; that certainly makes you a better candidate for surgery. However, one must point out that smart lipo or liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. We recommend that a patient exercise and diet to lose excess weight, and if there are areas that are stubborn and won't budge with weight loss, then liposuction can be used to help. Weight gain is common for those going through menopause or after having a hysterectomy. Unfortunately, more effort may have to be put in to lose this weight; therefore, consulting with a dietician or nutritionist be helpful. Dieticians work with patients struggling to lose weight due to health-related issues. Once you get on track with stabilizing your weight, consider consulting several surgeons for professional opinions. Best of Luck.

Answer: SmartLipo Success SmartLipo does not dissolve fat, but removes it via a tiny laser, the laser heats the fat and then suctions it out. It sounds like you just need to kick start your weight loss and you maybe a candidate for SmartLipo. Skin elasticity is a factor and there are many skin tightening treatments that compliment SmartLipo.

Answer: Liposuction in solving weight gain problem If before you gained weight you never had a problem with any particular area on your body which was out of proportion, then you absolutely do NOT need to have liposuction of any kind. We generally turn down at least 30% of our patients from such procedures because it will disturb their metabolism permanently. Simply make an effort at losing weight by eating healthy and if necessary consultant a nutritionist to help you with that. Adding some form of exercise will also help. Liposuction should only be performed in patient where there are fatty deposits that are out of proportion to the rest of the body. I hope this helps and good luck from your side of plastic surgery
