Questions to Ask the Plastic Surgeon

If you're considering liposuction, here are some questions to ask during your consultation appointment:

What types of procedures do you use for liposuction?

How long have you been performing these procedures?

What are the benefits of having liposuction?

Will I regain weight in the areas of my body where I've had liposuction?

Liposuction (Lipoplasty)

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat from specific areas of the body, including:

  • Abdomen
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Inner/Outer Thighs
  • Knees/Calves
  • Arms

Liposuction: What It Can (and Can Not) Do

The procedure can remove fat that resists traditional weight-loss methods. But no form of surgery should be a substitute for proper diet and exercise. As with other forms of cosmetic plastic surgery, you need to have a clear and realistic idea of why you want the surgery and what you hope to look like after it. You should discuss your expectations with your surgeon. Improving your appearance can’t solve all the of difficulties you might face in life, but it may increase your self-confidence as you deal with them.

Liposuction does not remove or correct cellulite, which gives skin a “dimpled” look.
