Liposuction Candidates

Liposuction is the most popular body contouring procedure performed by board-certified Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Diehl. With liposuction, Dr. Diehl can remove stubborn deposits of fat from nearly any area of your body, producing a toned and firm appearance to all treated areas.

Good Liposuction Candidates

Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment. The removal of large amounts of fat through liposuction can be dangerous and should be avoided. Therefore, you must be within reach of your goal weight to be a good candidate for liposuction.

If you are close to your ideal weight, other considerations will include:

• Your general health
• Your expectations
• Your preparedness for a surgical procedure
• Your willingness to follow Dr. Diehl’s pre- and postoperative advice

It is important to remember that once removed, fat cannot come back. This does not mean that new fat cannot accumulate. While not a requirement, the best candidates for liposuction should be willing to adopt a healthy lifestyle to ensure the longest-lasting results.

During your initial consultation with Dr. Diehl it can best be determined if liposuction can help you reach your goals.
