Would liposuction get rid of my stubborn fat? (Photo)

Hi there,From your photos you don't look like you need much done. The stubborn areas are the perfect spots for liposuction. Only thing I can't really tell on a photo is the amount of skin laxity you have. It looks good but 70 pounds is a heck of a lot of weight!  That can sometimes affect skin elasticity which is crucial for liposuction success.    Good luck with it. You should be really pleased with the result.  Any surgeon would be very pleased to have you as a patient. Just make sure you go to someone with experience and really I would strongly suggest a plastic surgeon.   Although it sounds straight forward, there is an art to successful liposuction. Dr Rodger Shortt Oakville Plastic Surgeon

Liposuction may be a perfectly reasonable option in your case.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA......

You would need to be examined by an experienced surgeon to determine whether you have any loss of skin elasticity from your weight gain and then loss.  If not, you would be an ideal candidate for liposuction.  For example if you have any stretch marks in that area then you probably won't be a candidate for liposuction alone.

Liposuction by the tumescent technique under local would do great to flatten your tummy, pubic area and hips(sides) for roughly $5500 on special. You would be back to work in 2 days and back to the gym in 1 week. Sincerely, david Hansen,md

Liposuction excels at accomplishing this.  The most important implication is how much skin laxity you will have.  Sometimes excision of some lower abdominal skin is necessary for a good youthful result.  This would be determined at your consultation.

Liposuction wins every time. Studies that have objectively compared traditional liposuction with laser and ultrasound have typically demonstrated that results depend on the surgeon rather than the type of device.  An experienced surgeon will be able to predict for you at consultation whether skin laxity is likely to be a problem in your case.

Thanks for writing,Based on your photos, you have an isolated area of fat that should do well with suction. Your skin appears to be of good quality and there are no visible scars. The result of liposuction are in a large part operator dependent. I would suggest finding  Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who will be happy to help you. They will be able to help you make the correct choice for you. I would expect you to do well.Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

If the lower tissue is fatty then liposuction may help. If it is the result of loose skin, then liposuction is unlikely to help. Best to be seen in person.

Congratulations on the weight loss. You are a possible candidate for multiple procedures (both surgical and nonsurgical such as coolsculpting). Consult in person with 3 board certified plastic surgeons to understand your options, and choose the one that makes the best sense for you.

Laser assisted liposuction would be a suitable solution for your case.Best Regards,Adham Farouk, MDAlexandria, Egypt.
