I am 22 years old and i have a steady weight of 145 lbs. i want 10 lbs off my tummy. will liposuction cause weight gain and will less liposuction cause less weight gain in untreated areas?

No.: Liposuction surgery does not cause weight gain. Based on your questions, i think you may all be over thinking liposuction surgery and its longer-term effects. Patients seeking liposuction surgery should achieve a long-term stable weight prior to proceeding; treatment should target diet and exercise resistant areas with adequate skin elasticity overlying these areas. Best wishes.

Lipo doesn't cause: Weight gain. Following lipo, if you gain weight, the fat will tend to go to other areas. To get 10 lbs off, you would need about 4 liters of fat removed - the size of two full 2 liter coke bottles. That sounds unlikely at your weight. Best to discuss with your local plastic surgeon.

Lifestyle adjustment: Healthy lifestyle changes following lipo will avoid excess weight gain. This includes a healthy eating habits with moderate calorie consumption and exercise.
