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

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. 

yes you are a good candidate for liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks,please consult with a board certified PS. thank you for your question and good luck!Kenneth Hughes,MDBeverly Hills,CA.

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

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.

Absolutely!  You look like a great candidate for a brazilian butt lift.  This is when we perform liposuction of the problem areas to narrow the waist, flatten the belly, and then inject the fat into the butt to increase the size and improve the shape.  See a plastic surgeon in your area for consultation to find out whats right for youGood Luck"The above answer has been given without seeing this

Overall weight or BMI is not a good indicator if someone is a good candidate for liposuction or not.Fat distribution and the lack of other concerns are by far more important.In your case for example skin laxity may be a major issue keeping you from getting great results from liposuction.based on your pictures you appear to be a fairly good candidates for liposuction though there may be some limitations on the front of your abdomen.You also appear to be a good candidate for fat transfer. And abdominoplasty may be a better procedure for you.That procedure is drastically different the liposuction for many reasons.An abdominoplasty has a much more challenging recovery and is not a procedure that's recommended for women who are planning on having children in the future.I suggest you have a few in person consultations with board-certified plastic surgeon's to get a better idea of which procedures may work for you.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.

Though loose skin will remain present, you appear to potentially benefit from liposuction of your trunk and thighs.Meet with an ABPS Bd Certified plastic surgeon to assess potential benefit and do your best to lose additional weight before the anesthesia if possible to reduce risks.Best wishes.
