Overweight people can't have liposuction; pure nonsense!

There is word on the street that is you are overweight you are not a candidate for liposuction.   This is a nonsense myth.   The fact is that overweight people can be launched on the path to a better life and weight loss motivation by liposuction.   Even people 100 lbs overweight may be candidates if the weight is disproportionately in one area such as buttock or stomach.   In fact we now have a 360 lb patient with massive abdominal weight who is scheduled to undergo a large panniculectomy and yes LIPOSUCTION.  Each of my patients is individually evaluated and meticulous attention is given to all needs.   Weight is not the issue here.  The patient is the issue and each is respectfully treated.  I have written the article on Large Volume Liposuction and that article was co authored by Dr Bruce Haperin.  The article contains the report of the largest series of large volume liposuction patients in the world literature.   The article can be found in the pubmed.com files and copies can be obtained by calling my office in Palo Alto.  650.328.4570.   The series contains 639 patients all done by Dr George W Commons.   Dr Commons is about to add to that series with report of an additional 423 patients in 2011.   This will make well over 1000 large volume liposuction patients of Dr Commons.   For large volume liposuction call Dr George Commons in Palo Alto, 94306.   650.328.4570.  Visit Dr Commons Facebook Page; www.facebook.com/plasticsurgery1.  See Dr Commons web site; www.gcommonsmd.com.   Thanks
