Lipo Long Term Effect? (photo)

Usually, if you are eating healthy and exercising regularly then your results after liposuction remain stable.  It does not stop the aging process and our bodies change over the years.  Do not let this stop you from getting liposuction of the flanks and love handles at the same time as your tummy tuck.  It will give you a better result.  

Hi! For your guidance obesity, cellulite, stretch marks, a history of “yo-yo” weight gain/loss, or loose, sagging, inelastic skin, are problems which would tend toward poor results in liposuction. In fact, these problems may be worsened by liposuction and may be best addressed by other body contouring procedures in conjunction with liposuction.
Also, patients should be aware that liposuction is NOT a method of weight loss and muscle toning, or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect one's metabolism. Regular exercise and diet is still recommended in maintaining good and lasting liposuction results. When a patient gain massive weight after liposuction, rippling may occur. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

This is a very common misconception. After any type of lipo, you can still gain wait if you do not watch your diet and exercise. The best long term results from lipo are achieved by patients who keep their weight stable. Remember, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure it is a body contouring procedure.
