Body Contouring/Liposuction
What are the limitations?

Liposuction and skin-tightening surgery are not treatments for obesity.

If you are planning to lose weight, you should do so before considering body contouring surgery. The best results are achieved when your weight is stable and approaching normal.

 

Liposuction:

There is a limit to how much fat you can remove at one time and from one part of the body. Although we can repeat liposuction, it may not be possible to slim down as much as you would like.

Loose or inelastic skin may not respond well to liposuction and your surgeon may recommend a skin-tightening procedure either in addition to, or instead of, liposuction. Liposuction will not improve dimples and wrinkles of the skin, sometimes called cellulite.

 

Skin Tightening Surgery:

There is a limit to how much excess skin we can remove and how tight we can make your skin. The operation will not restore your skins elasticity although it will make the skin tighter. This type of surgery often leaves scars that can be quite long and which may stretch or become uneven.
