There is a common misconception that liposuction is only appropriate for overweight individuals. However, this is simply not the case. Some of Dr. Ginger Xu’s happiest patients have been those who are already fit and maintain a low BMI but still struggle with stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. These individuals often seek out liposuction as a targeted and precise solution to reshape their bodies in a way that would otherwise be impossible to achieve in a healthy manner. In these cases, liposuction allows for a more proportional and contoured appearance without requiring the patient to achieve an unhealthy or unsustainable weight.
