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. Hope this helps you decide. Best wishes, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Liposuction Dear princessheels, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
