Your surgeon can advise you of the maximum BMI, (Body Mass Index) to safely benefit from liposuction.

What you should know about liposuction
Although liposuction is generally a pain free procedure, like any surgery, it does come with some risks. Once you speak to a board certified plastic surgeon and have gained approval for liposuction, your Dr. will explain the risks associated to this procedure.
Liposuction does cause some swelling and bruising which can cause some discomfort that your plastic surgeon can prescribe pain medication for. Most patients report some minor pain and tenderness for 2-3 weeks after surgery. And most patients are able to return to work and limited activities within a week after surgery.
One should remember that liposuction is not permanent fat elimination. Your trouble areas can easily return after liposuction of you do not adjust the eating and exercise habits that resulted in your fatty areas in the first place. And those same areas of unwanted fat can come right back.
