To be a good candidate for liposuction, regardless of volume, you should be in good health. At the most, a single liposuction procedure removes no more than five liters of fatty tissue. Discussion around your expectations is a critical part of your consultation. You are a good candidate for liposuction when you are in good health and when you understand the abilities and limitations of this common cosmetic technique. At your consultation visit, Dr. Jean will discuss your goals and will compare them to the condition of your skin. It's important to understand that fatty tissue affects the overall appearance of any area of the body. When we remove fatty tissue, we're removing the tissue that plumps overlying skin. Dr. Jean has many years of training and clinical practice that he calls upon to guide surgical planning. He will not recommend liposuction for you if you do not meet the criteria for optimal cosmetic results.
