Yes, this is best. The best liposuction candidate is a patient with average body weight, superb skin elasticity, and muscle tone. The result of liposuction is also maximized and the possibility of complications, such as skin sagging and irregular skin surface, can be reduced when patients have great skin elasticity and muscles. Therefore, overweight patients may want to consider losing weight prior to the liposuction procedure, or they may consider a body contouring procedure to remove loose skin.
