When so many products and procedures promise a “quick solution,” it's reasonable to wonder how long the results of liposuction last. Joyesh Raj is your best resource for information on the results of liposuction treatment. Read on as he explains if fat can reappear after liposuction. Raj uses a thin, hollow tube called a cannula to selectively break down and remove fat cells from a specific area of the body.
The areas most commonly treated with liposuction include the stomach, hips, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, neck, and chin. Raj significantly improves the aesthetics of the treated area. It's also important to note that liposuction doesn't remove all of the fat cells in the target area. Raj has to leave a thin layer of fat cells on the treated area of the body to maintain a smooth, normal-looking contour.
If you gain weight after liposuction, the remaining fat cells in the treated area may enlarge, but you'll see less fat accumulation in that area, as there are fewer fat cells left. As you can understand, it's imperative to maintain your weight after liposuction to enjoy your sculpted results for as long as possible. Raj encourages him to follow a consistent exercise regimen and to follow a nutritious diet after surgery. You'll probably find that you're more motivated to eat healthy and exercise often after seeing your own dramatic transformation.
If you have additional questions about liposuction or would like to discuss the procedure in person with Dr. Raj, request a consultation at our practice. Exercise is extremely important for an overall healthy lifestyle, but also for helping you maintain your results. Exercise builds and maintains lean muscle mass, which is important for maintaining a healthy metabolism and preventing weight gain. Exercise also gives you more confidence in your body and improves Smartlipo results.
Ashley Gordon, who performs liposuction at an accredited facility in Austin, TX, has been asked many times if fat can return after liposuction. Liposuction surgically removes excess fat by using a cannula that is inserted under the skin to remove excess adipose tissue and, at the same time, gently reshape or contour a more proportionate and elegant profile. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that can remove unwanted pockets of fat in several areas of the body, such as the hips, thighs, abdomen, buttocks, upper knees, lower back, and even under the chin. While liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in the treated area, it doesn't remove all of the fat cells.
But what can end up happening when you gain weight after liposuction is that the remaining fat cells expand. To maintain a smooth body contour in the treated area, a thin layer of fat cells must be left.
