How much weight can I expect to lose after laser liposuction?

Answers from doctors (2)


Laser liposuction is not about weight loss. It is about how you feel
about the appearance of your body. So do not approach any form of
liposuction looking for weight loss. Liposuction is not a good option
for weight loss. Liposuction is best when used for problem areas that
do not resolve with diet and exercise.

Laser Liposuction alone is meant to contour the body, not for weight loss.
However if you are combining it with a diet & exercise plan, you will have
both. If you do not take care of yourself after your liposuction procedure
you can gain weight. You must be committed to a lifestyle change.

I had liposuction done 2 years ago; the plastic surgeons office I went to
had a nutritionist on staff and included in the procedure fee was the ALCAT
test (lab work to help loss weight) and her office visits. That's what
helped me lose the weight on top of the inches from the lipo.
Best wishes!
