Should You Lose Weight Before Liposuction Surgery?

I see many people in my practice who are considering liposuction surgery for the wrong reasons. Liposuction is not a procedure to achieve dramatic weight loss, liposuction is intended to remove stubborn areas of localized fat.
For the best results from your liposuction surgery, you should receive your surgery when you have lost any excess weight (not localized fat deposits) that you would like to lose and you are at your ideal weight. This will allow your surgeon to determine which areas need to be treated.
Additionally, if you have an excess amount of weight to lose, you may no longer be a candidate for liposuction surgery after you have lost all of your weight. Individuals whose skin has lost its elasticity due to dramatic weight losses are not ideal candidates for liposuction. There are other procedures that can help you resolve loose and sagging skin. Liposuction will not address this problems and can even make it worse.
Therefore, I recommend going for your liposuction surgery when you are at your ideal weight. This will allow for the greatest results from your procedure.
Deciding whether or not to have liposuction surgery is a big decision. I recommend meeting with several plastic surgeons, and having a good understanding of what your results are likely to be.
