Am I a good candidate for Liposuction, liposculpt/contouring?

Question

I am 5"7 200lbs. I know that lipo is not a form of weight loss but would I be a good candidate for lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the fat between my back and butt, and flanks? Also could I get fat transers to my butt to round in and make it proportioned to my body. My weight has been the same since losing 80lbs 5 year ago.

Thank you for your question and photos.  You are correct in saying that liposuction is NOT a weight loss tool.  Although you have not had success in losing weight in recent years, you should seek out a medical weight loss program which involves strict dieting and exercise to cut down on the visceral fat you appear to have.  This fat cannot be removed by undergoing liposuction.  Once you cut down this fat and reach your goal weight, liposuction is likely a realistic option.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

You look to be a good candidate although it is difficult to determine your skin quality through your photos. I believe that inches can be removed from your belly and back and give you an improved contour. You can certainly transfer the fat into your buttocks as well for some fullness and a lift in that region.

Michael J. Denk, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, you certainly are! Liposuction of your upper and lower abdomen, waist and back will add contour to your waistline and provide adequate fat for buttock fat grafting. Please seek several consultations with experienced Board-certified PS before making your choice. You should have a wonderful result. Best of luck.

Hi, thanks for posting your pictures and for your inquiry. Although liposuction would be a good tool to help you lose some inches, it would not help you with the elasticity of your skin, for that an abdominoplasty would be advised. Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon
