How Long Does Lipo Suction Last? A Temporary Fix?

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure best done in otherwise healthy patients near their ideal body weight that cannot seem to achieve a more harmonious shape with appropriate diet and exercise.  In individuals with significant loss of skin elasticity, it probably does not represent  the best option as the skin may not re drape as well.  Weight gain in the areas treated is not usually a concern, however, a healthy lifestyle to avoid weight gain elsewhere is helpful. 

Liposuction can provide great results in the ideal candidate with long lasting results. If you maintain a steady weight the results should last a very long time. That is, once the fat is removed it should not really come back though if you gain considerable weight, you will also see a re-enlargement in the area.

Liposuction is not a treatment for loose or excess skin so don't expect skin tightening. With the influence of age, hormones, nutrition, stress, etc., there will be a degradation of the initial outcome but that would be true of other non-suctioned areas as well.
