Who are the best candidates for liposuction?

Doctor's Answer

Based on your description, you sound like the ideal candidate for liposuction:

  • Stable weight
  • Good exercise regime
  • No medical problems or medical problems that are well controlled
  • Localized areas of fat that won't go away despite your best efforts

The only thing I might want to hear is that you have a good dietary plan. I believe is a greater determinant of body weight than exercise

The people I turn away for liposuction are those who have not been looking after themselves as well as you have:

  • Yo-yo-ing weight pattern are worse than increasing weight
  • Poor dietary and lifestyle habits
  • Multiple medical problems or medical problems that are poorly controlled
  • Patients who want to use liposuction as a quick and easy way of losing weight and fat.

The reason why I am quite strict about the above is that you can put on fat again if the above factors are not looked after and I consider that treatment failure. And I have quite a nasty allergy to treatment failure šŸ˜’
