There isn't a specific minimum weight for liposuction. Instead, the focus is on being close to your ideal or goal weight before considering the procedure.
Most surgeons recommend that you be within at least 30 pounds of your goal weight or within 30% of your goal weight. This depends on how much you weigh and your body composition.
- This guideline helps ensure that liposuction is used for body contouring, not weight loss.
Here's a breakdown of the weight considerations for liposuction:
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Goal Weight Proximity | Aim to be within 30 pounds or 30% of your ideal weight before considering liposuction. |
| Weight Loss vs. Contouring | Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. |
| Surgeon's Recommendation | A surgeon will assess your individual situation and provide personalized advice. |
