Results of Liposuction

The results of Liposuction are visible immediately after the surgery and will be lasting if the patient maintains a stable weight and general fitness. The enhanced body contours become more obvious when the swelling goes down completely and the fluids that get retained after liposuction subsides.

With age, it is natural to lose the firmness achieved with liposuction, however, the results are relatively permanent. In some patients, to achieve optimum results, the surgeon may suggest another sitting of liposuction few months after the first surgery.

Liposuction should not be considered as a weight loss solution. It is a body contouring procedure. It is also not a solution to improve lax skin tone.

Are the Results Permanent?

During Liposuction, the fat cells are permanently removed. However, if you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle post the surgery, you may gain weight with an increase in the size of existing fat cells.

To keep the results permanent post liposuction, it is advised to follow a diet, which includes lots of lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy. A regular exercise regimen also prevents weight gain post the surgery.
