How much weight can be reduced with liposuction?
Question asked: - 07. 02. 2024
I shortened my stomach and have been weighing 120 kg for several years. I have "šlauf" around my waist and fatty deposits on my stomach, chest and thighs. How much is it possible to lose weight with liposuction and skin tightening? Is it true that 10-12% of weight can be lost with these procedures?

Liposuction and skin tightening can significantly improve body contours, but are not a substitute for significant weight loss. Liposuction can remove a certain amount of fat (usually 3 to 5 liters per procedure), but this is not enough for significant weight loss, especially if you are already overweight. These procedures can remove localized fat deposits, but you cannot lose 10-12% of your body weight this way. Skin tightening can be beneficial after major weight loss, but results depend on the amount of loose skin and its elasticity. I advise you to consult with a plastic surgeon to determine the best steps for youš case.

I have loose skin on my stomach and am wondering if liposuction and skin removal are options. I've never had a flat stomach, even at my lowest weight, so I'm not worried about that.

I am 40 years old and after pregnancy I have fat deposits on my hips. Can liposuction be effective for my problem and is it safe for my age?

Good day! I started to notice fatty deposits around my stomach and waist that didn't disappear even after dieting and exercising. Is liposuction the right option for my problem? I forgot to mention that I am 49 years old.
