One of the most common myths associated with liposuction is that the procedure can help you lose weight. Unfortunately, this incorrect assumption can cause you to develop unrealistic expectations for your procedure. Liposuction is not a tool for weight loss. It is a body contouring procedure that will remove small amounts of fat from targeted areas of your body in order to provide a more toned, sculpted figure. In reality, the amount of fat removed during most liposuction procedures will not result in a significant loss of weight.

Why Can’t Liposuction Help Me Lose Weight?

You shouldn’t use liposuction as a weight loss technique for several reasons:

There are limits to the amount of fat that can safely be removed during liposuction procedures. This amount will not significantly impact your BMI or your overall weight. When these limits of fat removal are exceeded, it can increase your risk of complications and a poor outcome to your procedure. For this reason, Dr. Basner doesn’t recommend large volumes of fat reduction during liposuction. For obese (BMI between 30 and 34) and morbidly obese (BMI over 35) individuals, the amount of fat removed during liposuction most likely won’t have a significant impact in your figure and as a result, it may not be worthwhile to undergo the procedure. Unless you are able to make the lifestyle changes necessary to maintain a healthy, stable weight, you are most likely going to gain weight again after liposuction. While the fat cells removed won’t ever return, the weight gain experienced in other areas of your body can create an unbalanced figure and negatively impact your initial liposuction results. If you are currently overweight, you should first work to achieve your weight loss goals, then use liposuction to put the finishing touches on your workout efforts. Once you are able to maintain a stable, healthy weight, Dr. Basner can remove some of the stubborn pockets of fat that have been resistant to your fitness regimen in order to help you achieve the beautiful figure you desire. If you have struggled with weight loss in the past, you may want to consider working with a nutritionist and a personal trainer who can help you make the lifestyle adjustments necessary to reach and maintain a healthy weight. Dr. Basner can recommend specialists who can help you achieve these goals prior to undergoing liposuction.

Can you tell if someone has had lipo?

Answer: Lipo done From your photos, it isn't possible to tell if liposuction was done. If your surgeon said it was done, there really is no reason to think otherwise.

I got a TT and lipo with MR and a BL11 days ago. The doctor marked my areas that were getting lipo but I see absolutely no change in those areas. I had no bruising at all a little on my breasts and around the incision. My hubby had lipo done and he had 4 places where this same doctor went in and I dont have any. I am worried that the doctor didn't do the lipo because that day he was running an hour and a half behind. how do I know if he did it? I feel like I still have the same love handles.
