Liposuction – Are you a good candidate?

 

 

 

People who make the best candidates for Liposuction are those that are within 30 to 40 pounds of their ideal body weight and want to have localized fat removed. Liposuction can remove significant amounts of fat but weight reduction is not the purpose of liposuction. Weight reduction does occur with large volume liposuction removal but, to be safe, Dr. Cruise does this over more than one session because removing too much fat at once can be dangerous.

 

Brief outline of areas where liposuction is useful:

 

  • Calves and knees
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Hips and flanks
  • Buttocks
  • Love handles
  • Back and chest
  • Upper arms
  • Neck and jowls

 

What Makes a Good Candidate For Liposuction?

 

Basically, anyone who is not a bad candidate as outlined above is a good candidate. Below are some common examples of the patient who is likely to obtain a good result from liposuction:

I just had lipo on my love handles last wednesday with Dr cruise, the results turned out even better than I had hoped for! I know I am still swollen but it looks soo good I would still be happy if it stayed this way... but to know its only going to get better is mind blowing to me. Im not a big girl, Im 115lbs at 5'4 but Ive tried everything to get rid of my muffin top and nothing seemed to work. when I dieted and worked out, my legs,arms, and chest got smaller but not the love handles which almost made them even more pronounced. the word lipo sounded scary to me, especially having images of tara reids stomach in my mind and just hearing stories about "plastic surgery nightmares".Looking now at my photos of before and after truly amaze me, I actually LIKE my body and im not embarrassed to be in a bikini, in fact summer cant come fast enough!. If you are reading this in search for the BEST possible surgeon, you have found him. Searching for plastic surgeons can be hard, most people look at their board certifications, education, etc. ( which is all very important) but keep in mind while looking, every surgeon went to school, every surgeon is incredibly smart and knowledgable, but plastic surgery isnt regular medicine to me ..they NEED to be an artist and that is a talent that cant be taught. I was fortunate to have gone to a true artist who understands a womens body and how to contour it. my whole experience has been lifechanging. im 4 days post op. on a scale 0-10 being the worst, my pain level is at a 2. I would like to say thank you to Dr. Cruise, you have taken an insecurity away that was greatly affecting my personal life as well as intimate life. You have given me my confidence back and I cant thank you enough!
