Liposuction has historically been performed in clients with lower BMIs (BMI 21-30). As the success of liposuction increased clients with larger BMIs underwent liposuction with very mixed results. Some common problems encountered were:
Medical Problems:
Lung & Heart Disorders
Poorly Controlled Diabetes and Hypertension
Poor Pain Control
Aesthetic Challenges
-Excess Skin
-Not Enough Fat Removed
–NO REAL improvement in the Body Silhouette
Frankly, a lot of money was spent without the shapely result that most plastic surgery clients expect. Therefore, the plus-size plastic surgery client is constantly forced to lose weight before plastic surgery and this is REALLY difficult.
Over the last twenty years, Dr. Lissa, a specialist in plus-size clients, has focused on highlighting her clients’ figures by combining extensive liposuction with abdominoplasty surgery. The results have been excellent; however, a large group of clients have been excluded because of a lack of downtime for a tummy tuck or objection to the long tummy tuck scar.
Today awake liposuction as a staged procedure or alone can give high BMI clients great shapely results without the risk of general anesthesia or the long down time. Awake Liposuction allows the client to move during their pain-free surgery and this positioning allows Dr. Lissa to sculpt an hourglass figure at the very least. However, the true result of large-volume awake liposuction can always be determined preoperatively by Dr. Lissa. How she does this we do not know but her artistic eye is able to create a realistic plan which has pleased thousands of clients and produced fabulous results.
