I am currently 5'8, 180lbs and used to 140lbs which I would like to go back to. Most of the weight is in my thighs and I have love handles but it seems easier to get rid of fat in my stomach area than lower body. How many procedures would be needed a d what is an estimated cost?

Answer: Liposuction An in-person examination will be necessary to give you a proper recommendation but from what I can see, you appear to be a good candidate for liposuction. The photo you provided is limiting but I think you would obtain a nice result from liposuction of the thighs. Liposuction will address excess fat, giving you a very nice result. It is important that you understand liposuction is a body contouring procedure. Although some patients lose up to a few pounds after liposuction, the procedure itself not designed for weight-loss. If you intend to lose weight, I recommend getting within 5-10 pounds of your goal weight before moving forward with your procedure. I recommend setting up a consultation with board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck!

Answer: Unrealistic Great question! Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, fat is not dense and does not weight much. Liposuction is more of a body sculpting procedure. You will definitely not loose 40 lbs, not even close. You may loose 5lbs, maybe 10lbs at most. If numbers are important to you, you would need to be on a weight loss program with diet and exercise.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Answer: Liposuction of 40 Pounds? Liposuction is not a weight loss solution. You need to get as close to your goal weight as possible before considering surgery. Liposuction is a great way to remove fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. You will probably do very well if you can get closer to your goal weight. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.
