you aren't a candidate for liposuction but need weight loss first. As well you likely will need skin removed at the same time to get the best outcomes. Dr. Emer.
Liposuction isn’t actually a weight loss method, but rather should be thought of as a tool that people can turn to when a healthy diet and exercise haven't eliminated isolated problem spots, like a muffin top or a double chin. I recommend that you achieve your weight loss goal first before considering lipo. You're more likely to see the best results from body contouring once you're able to maintain that stable weight for 12 to 18 months before scheduling your surgery. Best of luck!
Tumescent liposuction will permit removal of a substantial amount of fat in obese patients. Here in WA state, we are legally limited to removal of a maximum of 5 L of fat per surgery session. This is only about 11 lbs of fat. You could certainly lose far more weight than could be removed with liposuction, by using diet and life style changes.
Hello dear, thanks for your question and providedinformation as well.. You have to be under 200 pounds to perform any surgical procedure. This is the surgicalprocedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the mostperformed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in orderto contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. Itcan be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin,abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a smallincision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied,it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. Afterliposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 monthsafter your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garmentfor at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months atleast 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so manytime. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain.Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is anaccumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and alsoreally painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery,that’s why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over yourbody 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, usecompression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedureand for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losingit’s shape if you use your garment.. If you’re going to perform liposuction onyour inner, outer, anterior, lateral, postetior thighs, be careful and consultwith your surgeon what’s best for you, sometimes we have more extra skin thanfat, that can cause severe sagginess on our legs, which can be only be reversedperforming a thigh lift. Hugs!
Although there is no absolute maximum, at your present weight you would not be a good candidate for the procedure. The significant risks simply outweigh any potential benefit. With controlled weight loss you would be healthier overall, and decrease your risk of many health issues later in life. Liposuction is designed to target localized areas of excess fat for contouring. It is unfortunately a very poor procedure for overall weight loss.
