Had two c-sections and would lose then gain. Lately haven't been able to lose the weight. Will this procedure be a good choice along with using a waist trainer?
Answer: Liposuction not a weight loss treatment and concerns about Sono Bello First of all, it is important to understand that liposuction is a body sculpting procedure and not a weight loss procedure. The maximum amount of fat that can be safely removed through liposuction is ten pounds. Also liposuction chains like Sono Bello operate in a way that concern me. The employed surgeons generally do not examine the patient until just before the surgery which can lead to oversight of medical issues or not allow time to catch potential drug interactions. Also the operation of the different clinics vary but at my local Sono Bello some of the surgeons fly in or commute a great distance for the surgery which can make aftercare problematic if a problem occurs after the surgery.

Answer: Lipo candidate It is very hard to tell from the limited size picture that you have posted if you are a good candidate or not. I often ask patients if they are at their optimized weight. Some patients are best suited to lose some weight first followed by lipo to help sculpt the body contours. Liposuction, although fat is removed, is not an alternative for weight loss. See an expert for a consultation.

Answer: Liposuction Candidate--Body Contouring, VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, Tummy Tuck, Diet, Exercise, Surgery For best results, it is recommended to be at your ideal or stable weight before getting a sculpting liposuction procedure. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, rather it is for sculpting and defining and removing problem areas that cannot be removed with weight loss and diet / exercise alone. With skin laxity, a tummy tuck or lifting procedure could be performed at the same time. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a bariatric doctor or dietitian. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Will Lipo help after weight gain and children Thank you for your question and submitting your photo. It is difficult to assess you without seeing you in person but it is important to keep in mind that liposuction is not an alternative to weight loss. The closer you are to your ideal weight, the better your results will be. Also, keep in mind that if you have liposuction performed and do not adopt healthy lifestyle choices, you can increase the amount of visceral fat that you have. This is the fat that surrounds your organs and leads to diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and even death. We have many clients who have become very motivated following their liposuction procedure and have had fantastic results. Unfortunately, we have also had some patients who have gone on to gain further weight. They tend to be unhappy with their results. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
