Liposuction in San Antonio is not a weight loss surgery, and the results are not as drastic as with some other surgical procedures, however, it can help with problem areas. Once the fat is removed, the surrounding skin will shrink to some degree. An exception to this is patients with damaged or extremely loose skin (such as skin with a lot of stretch marks). In these cases, removal of the excess skin is recommended. Liposuction is not a treatment for cellulite. During your consultation, we will discuss if you would benefit from liposuction and/or another procedure.
The Best Candidates for Liposuction are:
- Patients who are healthy and within 30% of their ideal weight
- Patients who have deposits of fat that won’t go away despite proper diet and exercise
- Patients should be healthy and non-smokers. Smoking can significantly affect healing after surgery.
