Patients lose very little actual measurable weight with liposuction. The main goal of liposuction is contouring and sculpting the body. Of course, since fat is removed there is some weight to it but not much and always less than what one might think.
Varies. Some lose 3 to 5 pounds. Some more some less
Hi!

Unfortunately, liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, and if this is your main goal right now, it isn't a solution I would recommend. Liposuction simply targets deposits of fat in the body that don't disappear despite consistent exercise and dieting. In fact, before you can receive liposuction, you need to be at your ideal weight or close to it which you will need to maintain to enjoy the results of the procedure long term. If you are looking to lose weight through surgical means, you can consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon on exploring the possibilities of bariatric surgery instead.
