At the time I would of probably said more stubborn, but in retrospect I don’t believe that would be a complete fair assessment. The doctor did say I had some lose skin pre-surgery, but didn’t really elaborate. I say lose skin that I’m sure was tied to carrying extra weight with fluctuations.
At the time, if I would of been more disciplined and either kept at my same weight or worked at losing more (since I had lost some prior to surgery) it would of kept a positive result.
With Lipo, it really is what the doctors say, it’s for those that are close to their ideal weight. It’s equally important to have an established discipline to maintain that weight and keep results.
If it’s possible to determine if lose skin is the larger issue or fat would be helpful.
If someone has kept their weight the same or within 20lbs or less of their ideal weight consistently for a period of time, and don’t feel it’s more of an excess skin issue, but fat, than I feel it might be worth looking into it for yourself. You’re probably looking at 1/2
Inch reduction.
If it’s a situation of yo-yo weight and/or large amounts of weight loss, I would suggest working towards your ideal weight and maintain your lower weight for a long enough period of time that you are disciplined and not going to gain weight again. After all, you are talking about surgery still and it’s not something you want or to a degree can do over and over again.
Hopefully that made sense and was helpful.
