Does lipo slow down your metabolism?

Your muscle mass has a more significant effect on your metabolic rate. Liposuction has not been shown to slow down metabolism in any way. BMR "calculators" are based on your height and weight. Yes, you will lose a few pounds with liposuction, but probably not more than 10. Even with the most aggressive liposuction, 5 liters is typically the max most surgeons remove at one time. SO, in reality, could it impact your BMR? Maybe, but only by a few calories per day. 

Neither traditional or #vaser liposuction are a method of #weight loss or an alternative to diet and exercise. They do not affect one's metabolism. It is usually recommended that patients who have recently experienced weight loss and massive weight loss (#MWL) remain consistent at their weight for at least six to twelve months prior any cosmetic surgery. Such will better ensure longer lasting results of the procedure without risking the fluctuation and stretching of the skin tissue. Vaser liposuction, also known as Vaser #lipo, LipoSelection or Liposuction, is an advanced body #contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, #Vaser lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently #reshape your body. There are three types of #Vaser Lipo. Each benefit patients differently depending on their needs. An ideal  #candidate for Vaser Liposuction is a person in good health who seeks a minimally invasive way to remove stubborn fat with less downtime than traditional #liposuction.  Vaser is ideal for those seeking improved definition of muscles and contouring.  Those who seek increased sculpting of are ideal vaser lipo candidates.

Thank you for your question.
Removal of fat is unlikely to slow down your metabolism. It is, however, advisable to maintain reasonable diet and exercise plan so that the results of liposuction can be maintained and even enhanced. All The Best !

If you can maintain your weight, then you will not gain additional fat just because of liposuction.  The areas that are liposuctioned are less likely to become large, and any additional increases in fat weight will redistribute.  To be sure, all of the effects of liposuction on lipid metabolism have not been worked out.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

I have performed this procedure on thousands of patients over many years and I don't see any clinical evidence of a change in metabolism. 

Hello,
Fat cells have the lowest metabolic demand of any cell in the body. Having a lot of fat doesn't change your total metabolic rate, and so having less fat also doesn't. Contrast this with muscle where small gains or losses do have an effect on metabolic demand.  This is the number one reason why metabolic rates drop after conventional or very low calorie dieting, leading to muscle loss (and the weight loss that is confused as fat loss but isn't) and a severe drop in metabolic needs. Liposuction has no effect on metabolic rate or demand.  As an aside, the quality of liposuction results are not gotten by fancy machines, but instead by well trained, highly skilled, and very experienced surgeons.  Best of luck!

No, liposuction won't change your metabolism and you would need to maintain a healthy diet/exercise to maintain results. For best results with liposuction, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
