During your initial consultation with Dr. Imber, he will assess your medical history, aesthetic goals, and overall health, providing tailored recommendations for achieving your desired outcomes. If you’re interested in this type of body contouring, it’s important to consider the below.
Being Near a Healthy Body Weight
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. The average liposuction patient is already at or close to their target weight but often struggles to get rid of small, localized fat deposits using traditional weight-loss methods. Common locations of unwanted fat include the:
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Thighs
Having Good Skin Elasticity
Firm, elastic skin is crucial for achieving smooth contours after liposuction. Patients with good skin elasticity are more likely to experience tighter, more even results as the skin adheres to its new shape after fat removal. For those with significant skin laxity, Dr. Imber may recommend additional procedures.
Being In Good Overall Health
Candidates should be in good general health, with no underlying medical conditions that could complicate surgery or recovery. To move forward with any surgical procedure at Dr. Imber’s office you must receive medical clearance. Our nurses will discuss this and any additional items needed in advance of your surgery.
Having Realistic Expectations
Liposuction can significantly improve your look (and self-confidence), but patients should be realistic about what the procedure can achieve. Dr. Imber prioritizes patient education, ensuring that every individual understands the possibilities and limitations of liposuction in their specific case.
Who May Not Be a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Patients seeking a solution for obesity or those with medical conditions that increase surgical risks may not be good candidates. Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle or a remedy for skin laxity.
