Laser Liposuction – Am I a Good Candidate?
These are important factors that we use to determine if you are a good candidate for laser liposuction:
1) Skin Elasticity: Multiple pregnancies and weight fluctuations can cause the skin to lose some of its elasticity (springs in the skin). Loose skin will see some improvement from the laser component of the laser liposuction, but it can’t offset a significant amount of looseness. If you have loose skin, you may want to consider a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or a mini tummy tuck
2) BMI: Patients who have a BMI of larger than 35 may not be great candidates for liposuction. At our practice American Lipo Centers, we will sometimes perform liposuction in some of our offices on patients with BMI’s that are higher, but this depends on the surgeon’s preferences and the patient’s skin tone; If you have a BMI larger than 35, you may want to consider loosing some weight and then doing liposuction
lol! Mrs Debbie cleaned me up & explained everything that was going to take place prior to it happening. I must say the lidocaine was a piece of cake but the numbing part for me was very uncomfortable. I had to have a another 1/2 of my Valium cause I was freaking out but after that it was a smoothe selling. The back & braline was very easy. I didn t even know he had numbed me already. I am 1 day postop. Sore but otherwise I feel good. Minimal bruising only on both sides of my flank areas. VERY happy with the results this far (GOD BE THE GLORY). I would recommend ALC to all. Actually my friend has a consult Tues. I will post before & after pics soon.
