Would weight gain before liposuction help me achieve better results more easily?

Asked By:jjmmbb in Sanger, California

I am 5'6, 125 pounds and have stubborn belly & thigh fat, even when I'm down to 115. I've heard it can be harder to do lipo on thin people and have a 'smooth' result on the skin's surface. Would it be 'better' for me to gain a few pounds before the procedure, to make fat extraction easier, remove the same amount of fat as if I were thinner and get a good result? My skin is healthy and tight, so loose skin isn't a concern.
