Is liposuction painful and how heavy do you have to be before you have to do it for health reasons?

Yes, the Liposuction procedure will leave you feeling very sore, itchy (when healing), and can be very painful after the pain medication wears off. For you to be a perfect candidate for Liposuction, it is preferrable that you are within 25-30 pounds of your Ideal Body Mass Index. There are more probable complications with body weights greater than 100 pounds, some of which can be fatal.
