Can liposuction be used as a weight loss method?
No, liposuction is used to get rid of isolated areas of fat which are diet and/or exercise resistant NOT for weight loss. Q: Who is a good candidate for liposuction? A: The best candidates for liposuction are people at their normal weight who have isolated areas of fat. Firm, elastic skin allows for a better outcome. The patient s age is not a factor, however, older patients have less skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as younger patients.
