How Long Does Liposuction Last?
Liposuction is a popular procedure to remove fat cells from parts of the body. While helpful in providing a slimmer physique, liposuction is not a weight loss surgery. A good candidate for this procedure can maintain a healthy weight before surgery. The primary goal of liposuction is to target stubborn fat that will not decrease with diet and exercise. If you have difficulty with these problem areas and choose to undergo this procedure, you may ask, “How long does liposuction last?”
Liposuction results are usually permanent. Once removed from the problem areas, fat cells do not grow back; however, new cells can form if a patient gains significant weight after surgery. If a healthy weight is not maintained, existing cells in the areas surrounding the liposuctioned portion of the body may expand, causing new problem areas.
The best way to ensure long-lasting results is a wellness routine: Eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, and exercise. Whether you enjoy strenuous workouts or walking your dog, find the routine that best suits your lifestyle–and stick to it.
