How Long Do Vaser Liposelection Results Last? What if I Gain Weight?

I have been told that I am an ideal candidate for abdominal Vaser liposelection based on the plastic surgeon feeling my belly and skin elasticity. But he didn't ask about my lifestyle. I exercise lightly and have never been overweight. But I do love cheese and sweets. I'm 25 so my metabolism is slowing. I have always carried my weight in my belly. Will my gut come right back? Also is there a risk that if I did gain weight it would distribute abnormally or unevenly? Thank you so much!!!!!

Vaser Lipo

You are at that age where paying attention to food quality is an issue. If you want your result to last as long as possible, exercise 6-7 days a week for 45min. to an hour, reduce your fast food/sweets/other poor food choices, and you can expect your vaser results to last for years. Vaser only helps you with genetic fat deposits you can’t exercise off.

Liposuction results

Longevity of Vaser results

Quite simply, if you take in more calories than you use up it will increase the fat in your body. The fat will go back to the areas of previous liposuctioning as well as other areas. Best to work on your lifestyle as well.

Liposuction results permanent for body shape

Regardless of the technique, liposuction works to remove localized areas of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise. The fat cells in these areas are different, and we might think of them as the sort of emergency fuel stores. So by removing them, the body is less able to put fat back into those areas with weight gain. The trick is to identify the body shape pattern and not overlook any areas that resist change; if you have 3 areas for example and you only treat 2 of them, the... more
