Should I lose weight before getting liposuction?
This depends. If you have 20 to 30 lbs. to lose, for example, you may want to lose some of this weight naturally (through diet and exercise) before getting liposuction. This will help you reach a more stable weight that you’ll be able to maintain post-surgery.
If you’re simply trying to drop some vanity weight (five to 10 lbs., for example), the liposuction process may be able to take care of this for you.
Essentially, it’s helpful to be within or close to a healthy body weight range before getting liposuction. Ideally, this should be a weight that you feel comfortable being able to maintain after your procedure so that your results will last.
