Is it necessary to have skin removed or tucked after liposuction ?
The ideal patient for liposuction is someone who is in good shape, but has isolated fat deposits. In those patients, there is usually no need to remove skin or tuck it. However, there are patients that have a lot of extra skin and fat that is not amenable to liposuction alone. In those patients, we usually will need to remove skin as well as fat to get the improvements in contour.
