You have thought about getting liposuction, admit it. You might not be able to get rid of your “mommy tummy,” or your beer belly might have gotten too big. You could have even imagined that liposuction could help you get rid of extra fat that is covering up your lean, toned muscles. Yes, the thought of liposuction is very appealing.
But who is the greatest person to get liposuction? Are you one of them?
Dr. Perfect Celebrity is a board-certified plastic surgeon who works in Dubai. Dr. Perfect Celebrity is an expert in liposuction and employs the following factors to decide who is a good candidate for the procedure:
- First of all, you need to have realistic expectations about what your liposuction will do. If you are really overweight and assume that liposuction can help you reach all of your weight loss goals, you are not thinking about it the right way. Patients who wish to improve their general shape but don’t need to lose a lot of weight are good candidates for liposuction.
- People who will be able to keep the results of their liposuction are the ideal prospects. It would be really irritating to spend money on the treatment and then gain weight back because you don’t eat well or exercise.
- The greatest candidates know that following liposuction, their skin might be loose. Dr. Perfect Celebrity suggests that patients add skin tightening surgery (for more serious cases) or non-invasive skin tightening lasers to their operations. Patients can enjoy the tighter skin that shows off the effects of their liposuction procedure thanks to these therapies.
Overall, the greatest people for liposuction are not those who want a quick fix for a bigger problem. Instead, they are people who have realistic goals and are willing to work hard to keep their results. But the hassle is worth it; some of Dr. Perfect Celebrity’s happiest patients are those who have undergone liposuction because they feel better in their clothes and that they have reached their actual form and size.
Liposuction In Dubai
Liposuction in Dubai is a favored cosmetic procedure for those who wish to eliminate stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is more suitable for body contouring than for weight loss and assists in the refinement of specific areas, including the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and arms. The procedure achieves a more proportionate and smoother silhouette by suctioning out excess fat. The utilization of advanced techniques in Dubai clinics guarantees a faster recovery, minimal scarring, and increased precision. Liposuction is most appropriate for patients who desire targeted fat reduction and have good skin elasticity.
Your BMI Should Be Under 30
When thinking about liposuction, it’s critical to have reasonable expectations. Many people are unaware that liposuction is neither a weight loss program nor a treatment for obesity. Although they are already near their ideal weight, some of the best candidates for liposuction have bothersome areas of extra fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. You are not a good candidate for liposuction if you are significantly overweight. Before body contouring with liposuction can be successful, you must lose weight.
Start by calculating your BMI, or body mass index. Your BMI is a significant factor that is taken into account, despite the fact that it is not an ideal measurement. The decision to operate is made by a straightforward calculation based on your height and weight.
To help you determine whether liposuction is right for you, figure out your BMI and then follow these steps:
| BMI < Thirty | BMI Thirty to Thirty Five | BMI > Thirty Five |
| Perfect candidate for liposuction, for even better results | Consider adding skin tightening. May be eligible, but a stomach tuck might produce better results | Not the best candidate; it is suggested that they sign up for a weight-loss program like the Orbera weight-loss balloon in order to lower their BMI. |

You Should Be Close to Your Target Weight
Once more, weight alone is not a reliable indicator; rather, it is your weight in relation to your height. The likelihood of surgical complications increases with BMI. For example, research indicates that individuals with a BMI over forty are more than three times as likely to experience complications as those with a normal weight. It’s interesting to note that, on the opposite end of the spectrum, you are also not free. After liposuction, patients who are too thin and have insufficient skin “give” are more likely to develop irregularities and indentations. You might be in that group if your BMI is less than twenty.
Having said that, please be aware that our board-certified plastic surgeon must see you in person for a consultation in order to truly assess your suitability for plastic surgery.
Keep The Fat Removal Volume Under 5,000 cc
A liposuction procedure should remove no more than five thousand cc (five liters) of fat and fluid, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Like procedures for patients with high body mass index, so-called high-volume liposuctions have excessively high complication rates. Despite the fact that this is not legally required, the majority of plastic surgeons will follow the ASPS guidelines.
Even if your specific state or plastic surgeon permits a higher limit, these recommendations—which are based on extensive studies of post-operative liposuction patients—should be taken seriously.
Before having liposuction, your plastic surgeon might advise you to get closer to your ideal weight if you have a lot of extra fat. You might be able to accomplish this more quickly and successfully with programs like the Orbera Gastric Balloon than with just diet and exercise.
You Are Medically Cleared For Surgery
In order to assess the risk associated with plastic surgery, the majority of surgeons will group candidates according to their overall health. Even those liposuction candidates who believe they are otherwise healthy may be ineligible due to an underlying medical condition. During your consultation, your doctor will go over these and might suggest that your primary care physician perform a physical examination prior to cosmetic surgery. For plastic surgeons, conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma are common warning signs.
You should anticipate being asked if you smoke or if you quit smoking within six weeks of your procedure. Infection, serious surgical complications like delayed healing, more scarring, or skin death, and possible problems recovering from anesthesia, like coughing, increased bleeding, venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and possibly other life-threatening lung or heart problems, are all more likely to occur in smokers (or users of tobacco or nicotine products).
Any heart medications you take, particularly blood thinners, must also be disclosed because they can seriously impair your ability to recover from surgery. Usually, you will need to provide a letter from your cardiologist approving your elective surgery and indicating that stopping your blood thinners a specific number of days prior to the procedure is safe.
You Have Good Skin Elasticity
Restoring the tight, smooth appearance of your arms, thighs, or abdomen requires more than just removing fat deposits. Making sure your skin returns to its previously decreased surface area is the other step.
Results won’t be good if your skin doesn’t shrink back. It will resemble a balloon that has been deflated. Make sure your skin is smooth and even if you want to reveal some skin after your procedure.
Your chances of having elastic skin that instantly returns to its original shape are significantly higher if you are young and have never been pregnant. On the other hand, aging and/or childbirth reduce the elasticity of the skin. Additionally, liposuction by itself won’t give you satisfactory results if you have cellulite. Finally, you are more likely than average to develop keloid scarring following liposuction if you have a history of it. You should definitely talk to your surgeon about it before the procedure.
The good news is that non-surgical skin tightening can help with sagging and cellulite-like skin. When paired with liposuction, this body contouring technique produces outcomes that were previously only possible with surgical procedures like arm lifts, thigh lifts, and stomach tucks. It tightens the skin by applying controlled heat to the underlying tissue using radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL).

Your Fat is Subcutaneous and Not Visceral
Visceral fat, also known as intra-abdominal fat, and subcutaneous or extra-abdominal fat are the two types of belly fat.
Visceral fat surrounds the stomach, intestines, and liver, deep behind the abdominal wall. This indicates that it is behind our core and behind the muscles that comprise a roughly developed six-pack. Unfortunately, liposuction cannot be used to remove visceral fat. It’s just too deeply ingrained. Even worse, this type of fat has the potential to be harmful to our health. One of the main causes of high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease is excessive visceral fat. Known as “pot belly” or “beer belly,” it is more prevalent in men, especially older men. However, it can also develop in women, especially when estrogen levels fall after menopause.
Directly beneath our skin is where subcutaneous fat is stored. It is the unsightly flab that, despite your best efforts, is frequently left behind after intense exercise and dieting. Individuals who have this kind of subcutaneous fat make great liposuction candidates. Most people find it annoying, even though it has no detrimental effects on our health. With a combination of liposuction techniques, subcutaneous fat deposits are easily targeted, whether they are around your belly as a “muffin top,” around your thighs as “saddle bags,” or in the shape of a bra bulge or “male breasts.”
How can one distinguish between the two? Usually, visceral fat feels extremely firm to the touch. We ask the patient over the phone if it feels firm if they choose not to come in for a consultation. Standing up straight and measuring how much of the “bulge” you can actually grasp is a good way to find out if you have visceral fat. It’s probably visceral if it’s difficult to pinch. It is probably subcutaneous fat that will react favorably to liposuction if it is flabbier and easier to pinch.
Timing Considerations For Your Liposuction
Patients who are thinking about getting liposuction must be at least eighteen years old. Other than that, patients who lead healthy lives, fall within a safe BMI range, and have received medical clearance for surgery can get liposuction at any age.
The question of whether liposuction is an option if you wish to have more children is one that frequently comes up. Yes, is the response. Your ability to become pregnant and give birth is unaffected by liposuction. Additionally, although your body may produce new fat cells in those and other areas, the fat that was removed with liposuction won’t return when you become pregnant.
However, liposuction works well for removing fat from past pregnancies, particularly when combined with skin tightening. This is the ideal time for liposuction if you are dissatisfied with your “mommy belly” after having one or more children.
We hope that our explanation of liposuction candidates has improved your understanding. If you have any more questions, don’t be afraid to get in touch with us.
