Like I'm obese by bmi standards but since the pandemic has stopped my weight is no longer fluctuating up but I also can't seem to lose my weight I did gain is it okay to get lipo and body sculpting even though I'm considered fat?
Answer: Liposuction If you are healthy enough for elective surgery, then you should be able to have liposuction done to remove excess fat. Depending upon the number of areas you wish treated and the amount of fat in each area will dictate if all can be done at one procedure or needs to be split into at least 2 sessions.

Answer: Am I a candidate? BMI is only one of the considerations when determining if a person is a candidate for liposuction. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation. Your medical history will be reviewed as well as your goals for surgery. Your surgeon will determine if based on that information you are a good candidate. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Lipo with high BMI Thank you for your question. Without seeing pictures it's hard to determine what the proper procedure is. Liposuction is a great option to help remove some fat in areas and start contouring the area as well. It depends on how much extra skin there is and what area's you wish to improve. In regards to BMI, each Surgeon will have their own protocol they wish to follow when it comes to operating. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate and discuss your options with you. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Awake Body Sculpting In our practice there is no weight restriction. Obviously, the closer one is to their ideal weight, the better the outcome but that can also be achieved with weight loss after having liposuction. The awake but relaxed setting with complete local anesthesia is a healthy way of proceeding especially with obese patients. Feel free to contact us and schedule a complimentary consultation.

Answer: Is it okay to get lipo and body sculpting even though I'm considered fat? Interesting question. The short answer to your question is yes ! You can get liposuction done if your BMI is high, just make sure it is not to high (higher BMI higher risks). So a high BMI is something you and your surgeon need to address. And make sure liposuction is actually the procedure you need. A tummy tuck with lipo is usually a better option on female patients that are overweight. Sometimes liposuction alone is not worth doing because of the excess or loose skin. Remember liposuction only treats excess fat and may leave behind loose skin especially on the tummy and back rolls. This is actually more common in patients with high BMI.
