Does liposuction damage collagen and make you more likely to experience premature aging in lipo'd areas?

May 10, 2015
Asked By:Brown Girl in the Ring in Carriacou

I've been trying to find info on what actually happens to tissue during liposuction, but there's not much available out there for lay people. Will eating collagen and gelatin products help post-lipo to limit long term damage?
