Liposuction: Q&A

Does Liposuction Increase Appetite Post-op?
I've lost fat through all sorts of diets (i.e. low-fat, zero-carb), but tend to regain it thru hunger or depression. I've read that both low-calorie dieting and fat tissue can affect our endocrine systems. If I lose fat thru liposuction, will I feel the same as after dieting (cranky and hungry)? I'm at a stable weight of 150 lbs/5'9"/male, if that helps.

Appetite after liposuction
A few of my patients have noted that their appetite decreases slightly after liposuction. This is not universal, and can not be guaranteed to occur after your liposuction. It is not common for patients to mention to me that they have a larger appetite after liposuction.

Liposuction does not increase appetite
One of the fears that patients have is that after they have terrific liposuction results, they will over-eat themselves into a state back to where they were (or worse). Mericfully, there is not truth to that fear.

Often, they are so prideful of their new body, they kick it...

No correlation between Liposuction and Appetite
Liposuction is a Cosmetic Surgery body contouring operation which can remove up to 10 pounds of fat in a single out-patient setting. It is not a weight reduction operation.
In my experience with many liposuction cases, I have not seen a reliable correlation between appetite suppression and the volume of fat removed with the operation. I suspect that such reports have more to do with the fact that women who have had Liposuction are much more motivated to watch what they eat and...
