Is Liposuction suitable for a person with with PCOS, and a BMI of 30?

There shouldn't be any problems with you having liposuction if you are a candidate. Please post photos or see a body contouring expert for a formal consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

As long as you are otherwise a good candidate for liposuction surgery, polycystic ovary syndrome will not be a contraindication. It may be in your best interests to seek in person consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. A normal BMI will improve your results and make the surgery safer, however it all depends on where your unwanted fat is located.

Thanks for your question. Liposuction or an abdominoplasty could be suitable for you. As long as you receive clearance from your primary physician, you should be fine to undergo surgery. As far as you BMI, I would generally ask my patients who have a BMI of 30 to try and lose some weight before surgery day. Speak to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon about your concerns.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

PCOS need not be a contraindication for liposuction.it should rather give you a mental boost in your quest to maintain a proper weight.meet a qualified plastic surgeon, discuss your expectations and get yourself treated. best of luck

I see no reason why your polycystic ovarian syndrome should get in the way of having liposuction. Of course, you still have to meet the criteria of being a good candidate for the procedure. BMI is not as important of a criteria as is fat distribution.I have seen some of the highest patient satisfaction in high BMI patients. Still, this procedure is not for everyone. My practice is almost entirely devoted to body sculpting using laser liposuction and fat transfer. I suggest you consult with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to see if this procedure is appropriate for you. At times, we request patients get medical clearance from their primary care physician based on the extent of medical conditions a patient may have.

It would be easier to advise you if you presented photo's, However with a BMI of 30 it would probably take at least two sessions of a liposuction to gain satisfaction with results.
