After Liposuction, Are the Treated Areas More Responsive to Weight Loss Efforts: I.e., Exercise, Dieting?

Tags: weight loss, 3 weeks post-op, easy, exercise
Greetings. I'm a 31 yo male, 6', 188 lbs, my ideal weight is 180. I had vaser to the flanks and lower back, three weeks ago. These are stubborn areas, no matter how much weight I lose. Although I see an improvement, post-surgery, I still see excess tissue around my waist. My question is, if I retain less fat around the waist (though not my ideal of very little fat), would it tend to be easier to shed with exercise than in the past, in your experience as a doctor or patient. Thanks.

Treated areas are no more or less likely to gain or lose after liposuction, but there may be subtle differences in contour because of internal scarring.

Lipo for stubborn fat makes maintaining shape easier
Regardless of technique (VASER, laser, tumescent) liposuction targeted at localized areas of fat should make it easier to control body shape with exercise and diet. That is because lipo removes fat cells from those areas while there is no way to "spot reduce" with exercise.
