Can you gain the weight back after Vaser-Lipo?

The results of liposuction are permanent, however you can gain weight asymmetrically in the area treated if it is not done properly.  As well, you can gain weight in others areas if you do not maintain a normal healthy lifestyle. I suggest finding the best contouring physician. Best, Dr. Emer.

Vaser or any kind of liposuction is effective depending on your body type, realistic goals and expectations. Results are generally permanent. If the patient gains a large amount of #weight in the future, the area of liposuction will also gain fat but to a lesser degree. With massive weight gain, #rippling may occur. However, patients should be aware that liposuction is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight loss option and does not increase metabolic rate as well. The standard diet and exercise strategy is still recommended for maintaining good #results of liposuction.
I hope your concern was addressed.

A great question!  As adults when we gain weight, we "enlarge" our fat cells; we don't typically grow new fat cells.  So if you have a certain number of fat cells removed fro a certain body part, you don't replace those with new fat cells.  Surgeon never take away all the fat cells from a body area when doing liposuction, they just reduce there number.  So weight gain which is very possible after liposuction can be seen in both the ares you have had treated and even more so in the areas you have not had treated.  The best thing to do is to maintain some semblance of exercise and eating habits to maintain your results.  I'm am often told by my patients during there consultations, that they have friends who had liposuction of there flanks and after words the fat went to there arms (As an example).  My response to them is that they had liposuction of there flanks and they went to Baskin Robbins and that went to there arms.  In summary you will gain weight and fat volume faster in the ares where you have not had liposuction, typically, that in the areas where you have already had liposuction, but you will still gain fat volume and weight in the areas that were treated with liposuction (VASER or regular Liposuction), because you are enlarging the remaining fat cells that were left there.

Thank you for your question. Liposuction is not a solution to dieting. Weight gain and loss are still possible following any type of liposuction. The ideal candidates for liposuction are people who are weight stable and have isolated areas of fat that they have a hard time getting rid of. If you maintain your weight, the areas that were targeted will remain contoured. You can achieve excellent results with liposuction. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon who can help guide you. Best of luck.
