Answer: Liposuction lasting Your liposuction will 'last' if you don't gain weight. A good candidate for liposuction is a patient who is at a stable and sustainable weight.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Liposuction - longevity of result Thank you for your question. Regarding a "lasting" result from liposuction, I tell this to all my patients: Your body has a relatively fixed number of fat cells, which act as reservoirs for fat, expanding and contracting with weight gain or loss, accordingly. Liposuction involves permanent removal of a certain number of these cells, resulting in a decreased ability to store fat in the area that was treated. If you are to gain a significant amount of weight after surgery, fat will be preferentially stored elsewhere. This can result in a somewhat strange-looking, asymmetric distribution of fat. For this reason, as well as general health, it is of paramount importance to maintain a healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise after undergoing liposuction.

Answer: Does liposuction last? Yes, liposuction lasts! Once the fat cells are removed they will not come back. It is possibly though that some of the remaining fat cells can increase in size if there is a significant weight gain. Generally though, with the appropriate lifestyle changes and a good diet, results are lifelong! Best wishes.

TREATMENT FOR YOU

Answer: Do the results from liposuction last? Thank you for your question. The fat that is removed with liposuction is removed permanently. Liposuction is a permanent method for fat reduction and the procedure will permanently change your body proportions. Ideal candidates for liposuction are those patients who are at a stable and sustainable weight who have localized areas of stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise regimens. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, rather the goal is to sculpt the body and provide patients with better overall body contour. After a liposuction procedure, patients always run the risk of accumulating more fat in both the areas treated and not treated if they put on weight. This new fat accumulation will be evenly distributed throughout the body, but the proportions obtained from the liposuction procedure (for example, the waist to hip ratio) should still be maintained. It is important that patients maintain a healthy lifestyle, with both diet and exercise, post-operatively in order to maintain their liposuction results. If you are interested in having a liposuction procedure, I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well-experienced in liposuction and body contouring procedures. It is important to have this consultation as this meeting and physical exam will best determine your candidacy and what type of cosmetic result or improvement that a patient can expect. I hope this answers your question and best of luck!

Answer: #DoesLiposuctionLast? Does Liposuction Last and is it worth it - for most - ABSOLUTELY. However it will never take the place of diet and exercise to keep your weight stable. If you can do this then you will have long lasting improvement.In general, yes. If you gain a large amount of weight, however, the operated area will also increase but not as much as would have occurred before the operation. Make sure that before you begin the procedure, you are as close to as your ideal weight as possible, as well as being able to maintain it. If you are able to maintain a healthy lifestyle after the surgery, then I would say that it is worth it. That way, the results will be more permanent.
