Could a 300 pound person receive liposuction?

Realistically a person who is extremely overweight should not turn to liposuction to help them loose the fat. Liposuction is typically for people who are close to their ideal weight and are having trouble losing the last couple pounds of fat. Performing liposuction on a patient of this size is extremely high risk with very little reward if the patient does not change the habits that got them to such a high weight. It is recommended that obese patients lose weight before undergoing cosmetic surgery. At PREMIERE Center Miami and PREMIERE Center Tampa we can help overweight patients implement a Weight loss Program that is specifically tailored for you and is easy to follow. To succeed, it’s very important that the plan is realistic and teaches you lifestyle change; the program is also very flexible, full of variety, and incorporates exercise. Once you have lost the weight necessary to undergo cosmetic surgery, without any complications due to weight, PREMIERE Center can set up a complimentary consultation for you to meet with one of our board certified plastic surgeons to discuss any surgical options for stubborn fat and excess skin. After significant weight loss, there are a number of different procedures that can help get rid of loose skin and stubborn fat such as liposuction, Abdominoplasty, brachioplasty (arm lift), breast lift, lower body lift, and neck lift. Whichever route you decide to take be sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon!
