Honolulu, Hawaii, July 9, 2017 - Patients often turn to cosmetic surgery to improve their looks, and many seek liposuction or a tummy tuck in Honolulu in order to appear slimmer and ready for the beach. Unfortunately, many are unaware that liposuction is not meant to treat obesity or as a weight loss procedure, and some patients need to lose weight before the procedure, says Dr. Randy Wong.

Liposuction in Honolulu is meant for people who have stubborn pockets of fat that they could not eliminate with diet and exercise. It is not appropriate for patients who are more than 30 percent above their ideal weight for their body type to have the procedure, Dr. Wong says. Such prospective patients will be required to lose weight before they can have the procedure.

Weight loss prior to liposuction needs to be done in a safe manner, possibly with the consultation of a weight loss specialist. Sudden or drastic weight loss from crash dieting or excessive exercising can cause stress on one’s body which is not good prior to any procedure. Additionally, the body will need some time to stabilize the weight before having surgery.

Liposuction is meant for people who feel like they can benefit from a little extra body contouring following a dieting and exercise regimen. Having specific goals and realistic expectations along with a positive disposition are just as important in getting great results from liposuction as any of the previously stated factors.

Those who are considering a tummy tuck, liposuction, or breast augmentation in Honolulu are encouraged to call Randy Wong at the Honolulu Plastic Surgery Center, as he is happy to set up a consultation. Call (808)725-2114 to schedule an appointment.
