Am I A Good Candidate For Liposuction Surgery?

You Are Close To Your Goal Weight

Liposuction is a body contouring tool, not a weight-loss solution. The ideal candidates at New You are typically within thirty pounds of their target weight. This procedure excels at removing localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, helping you refine your silhouette and achieve that final, polished look you’ve worked for.

You Have Good Skin Elasticity

For the best results, your skin needs to be firm and elastic enough to "snap back" over your new contours. During your consultation at New You, our plastic surgeon evaluates your skin quality. Good elasticity ensures a smooth, toned appearance after fat removal, whereas diminished elasticity might require combining your liposuction with other skin-tightening treatments.

You Are In Good Overall Health

As with any surgical procedure, being in good physical health is a primary requirement. We prioritize your safety at New You by ensuring you have no underlying conditions that could impair healing. Being a non-smoker is also crucial, as nicotine can significantly restrict blood flow and complicate your recovery process and final results.

You Have Realistic Aesthetic Goals

Understanding what liposuction can achieve is vital for patient satisfaction. While it permanently removes fat cells and dramatically improves your body proportions, it is not a cure for cellulite or a total body transformation. Our plastic surgeons work with you to set clear, achievable expectations so you can enjoy a boost in confidence and self-esteem.

While we can provide general guidelines, the only way to know for sure is through a professional evaluation. Our team is ready to discuss your medical history, physical goals, and lifestyle to create a customized plastic surgery plan. Contact New You today to schedule your consultation and take the first step toward the body you deserve.
