I’m 21 and have PCOS so I’ve had difficulty losing weight. I eat healthy but don’t exercise much as of right now (working on it, i want to try and lose some weight before surgery) but wanted to know how much I should aim to lose. I know I’ll weigh less with these procedures, but how much can I expect to lose? I can do the rest of the work myself. What procedures can I get to result in a flat stomach with an hourglass shape?

Answer: Can I get rid of 30lbs with tummy tuck, lipo, and a bbl? (photos) All of these procedures are used for contouring, not weight loss. The maximum amount that can be liposuctioned in an outpatient setting is 5 liters. I typically remove 5 liters in every BBL patient and transfer 1200 cc to 1500 cc per buttock. You may lose 10 - 11 pounds, but not 30. You results will be enhanced with a BMI of 30 or below. Consult with your PCP to determine the best exercise program for you to follow to reach your goal weight within 3 months of surgery.

Answer: Lipo Candidate - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra My whole practice is doing lipoabdominoplasty, or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring). The smaller you are before liposuction the more contouring you can get from the procedure. Most of my liposuction patients get pre and post surgical optimization with hormonal therapy (see link to help boost their weight loss before surgery and help them heal after). You likely need weight loss and a tummy tuck based on your description, but I suggest posting photos. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Reuvion/IndMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. A fat transfer/BBL could also be considered, I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. IF you have loose skin you will need skin removal (abdominoplasty/tummy tuck, bracioplasty/arm lift, thigh lift, body lift etc). Best, Dr. Emer
