I think I need Liposuction but its a ton of $$$ and i fear the fat will just come back a few months later. all that money and pain for nothing. How long does liposcution last and is it worth it?
Liposuction results last, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Having liposuction does not mean that you will never gain weight. It does mean, however, that if you engage in regular exercise and maintain a healthy diet, the results you obtain from liposuction will last forever.
Best of luck.
Once the fat is removed it is gone forever. However, if you gain a significant amount of weight, the remaining cells can enlarge and you can get fullness back. In extreme weight gain your body can even produce new fat cells! Remember, having liposuction is partnership: you have to commit to lifestyle changes, diet, and exercise to maximize your results even if you have surgery.
Yes. There are a certain number of adipocytes or fat cells which enlarge with weight gain. Only with morbid obesity will the number of these fat cells increase. Patients gain weight by the increase in the size of the adipocyte and not the number. By decreasing the number of fat cells with liposuction, it will be more difficult to put on weight in the area which as been liposuctioned. However, it is still possible to gain weight after liposuction so the final result will be best if you can diet and exercise to maintain your results. If you follow a proper diet and exercise program, the results of liposuction should be permanent.
