Plastic Surgeon
Ideal candidates for liposuction maintain a healthy lifestyle but have found that diet and exercise alone do not eliminate certain fat deposits. Liposuction is not a weight-loss surgery; it is designed for targeted fat removal in specific areas to enhance body contour and proportion.
The best candidates are individuals who are at or near their ideal weight and committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery. The procedure also works best for those with good skin elasticity, as liposuction does not tighten the skin. Skin that is firm and resilient will naturally adapt to the newly contoured areas.
To be a good candidate, you should be in overall good health, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker, and be prepared to follow the necessary post-operative care guidelines.
