I had anorexia and was underweight, but recently gained it back. At my low weight I noticed a shrinkage of my problem areas (legs and arms) I'd like to reattain with liposuction or a similar procedure. I hope for permanent results and a reduction of at least a few inches (I know weight fluctuates, but I want to maintain at least the overall contour). I don't want these issues to occupy my mind anymore and reduce the risk of relapsing. I'm a mesomorph body type if relevant. Thanks for answering

Answer: Can liposuction be used to maintain body weight and shape
You can gain weight anywhere you did not have it removed after liposuction. with the right diet and exercise and hormonal optimization visceral fat can be reduced even more after liposuction. Best, Dr. Emer.
With proper settings for Ultherapy there is no fat loss, if you improperly use this it can. large areas cannot be treated with ultrasound for fat loss, only mild skin tightening. fat reduction non invasively needs Truesculpt or coolscultping. Best, Dr. Emer.
I find results to be better when people are asleep especially for the calves although for 8+ years I did it all awake, see the video I attached. get a formal consultation with an expert as this area for liposuction requires an expert and someone very experienced.
