Otto Joseph Placik, 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 is permanent if you maintain your body weight but if you gain weight you will continue to produce fat regardless of the amount removed. As you initially gain weight you will put it on in areas that were not liposuctioned. IF you gain sufficient weight, the fat will accumulate everywhere.
