Liposuction Quiz - Orange County California Plastic Surgeon John Di Saia MD

Is Liposuction for Me?

Here is a simple quiz for the patient considering liposuction. If "You" reads as something you'd say, consider how suitable liposuction might be for you. Liposuction is a great operation for the right patient, but has its limitations.

Goal	Use?	Alts	Bottom Line
Weight Loss	-	Not Much	Think Again
Target Many Areas	+/-	It depends upon the areas involved.	Consider Targets With Surgeon.
Many Babies	+/-	Won't Tighten Much By Itself.	Consider Tummy Tuck for Tightening.
Repeat Liposuction On Same Areas	+/-	Doesn't Always Do So Much After 1-2 times.	Expect Less Dramatic Results.
"The skin over the area I wanted treated is quite loose."	-	Liposuctino does not Tighten	Here you might want to accept less liposuction or the addition of a procedure to address the skin tone issue (eg. tummy tuck or body lift).
"I just want my clothes to fit better in the sides of the thighs on my tummy and/or around my waist. My skin is pretty snug in these areas."	+	Liposuction will probably "fill the bill" nicely here.	Looking for a modest improvement in "good responder" areas by this procedure is very reasonable.
