24 year old male that struggles with fat area in the thigh, hip. I decided to save for liposuction, and have been hitting the gym 5 times a week and cleaned up my diet. I slashed my body fat 4%. Problem is I am having this lipo in 2 wks and my hips/thighs FINALLY started to give into my fitter lifestyle and slim out. Terrified the doc won't take out enough because there is less fat & if I ever do gain weight in the future it will baloon up again. Should I go off diet to try to "plump" the areas?

Answer: Do I have too low body fat for liposuction? Thank you for your question. It is hard to give any advice withouot seeing photos or doing an in person evaluation. I do not generally recommend putting on weight before the surgery. We recommend patients to keep their normal weight and body form prior to surgery, and then we are working from a stable situation to create the changes we are working for.That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Do I have too low body fat for liposuction? All The Best !It is difficult to offer advise without seeing your pictures. In general, it is not a good idea to gain weight before Liposuction. It is possible that with your new, healthier lifestyle you may not need liposuction. You can also research non surgical alternatives (Cool Lipo, Thermi etc) to help you with your situation. Please talk to your plastic surgeon regarding your concerns. All The Best !
