It's important to be close to your goal weight (at least within 10-15 pounds) before getting liposuction. Remember, liposuction isn't a weight loss tool. Liposuction is a great way to spot-treat stubborn fat areas that can't be dieted away, typically thanks to genetics. As always, a consultation with your board-certified plastic surgeon will be the best way to know if liposuction is right for you.
