Liposuction is best performed on a healthy patient who is at a stable weight and desires to improve their shape and contour. A patient does not have to be thin to have liposuction. However, this body contouring procedure is a technique to make a person look better, not a way to lose weight.
This treatment removes fat very effectively, but it does not tighten skin. We see the best treatment results on patients with tight, elastic skin. If your skin quality has diminished, Dr. Bresnick may recommend a lift, like an arm lift or thigh lift, either with your treatment or instead of liposuction. Your consultation will be key to understanding the best treatment option.
