How to decide if Liposuction is good for you? - Dr. Bharath S P

At the outset it is very important to know your body weight, which is the body mass index which is calculated with the weight and the height. In a body mass index of 30 or say less than 30 are generally good candidates for liposuction. If you have a body mass index of more than 30, then you would be looking at a procedure called as weight loss. In patients with more than 30 body mass index , we also do liposuction in order to jump start or motivate the patient to follow a strict diet and an exercise regime following the liposuction surgery, the other ideal situations where we do liposuction is we are looking at a patient with very stable weight maintenance for the past few months along with he has got localised deposition of fat around his tummy, thighs, chin, face, arms, and thirdly he should also have the best of the results following liposuction surgery. And if a patient is already on an exercise and a diet regime, it is better to undergo liposuction because at the need of the procedure he can expect some good results.
