Tom J. Pousti, MD answers: Does liposuction last?

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 does involve removing adipose tissue or fat in the isolated areas. However, it does not mean that it will never come back if you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet. Liposuction does not allow you to eat whatever you want. With this said though, you do see a dramatic result and change after having the procedure done and it will give you a long-lasting result as long as you maintain.
