It is generally recommended that patients be at a stable weight before undergoing liposuction.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, but rather a way to contour the body by removing stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. If you are significantly overweight, your surgeon may recommend that you lose weight through diet and exercise before undergoing liposuction.
Liposuction can be a good option for people who have reached a healthy weight but still have areas of stubborn fat that won't go away. In some cases, liposuction may be combined with other body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck or arm lift.
It is important to have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve. It is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, and it cannot address loose skin or cellulite. Your surgeon can help you determine whether liposuction is the right choice for you and provide guidance on how to prepare for the procedure.
