As a plastic surgeon, I have seen many patients come to me with questions about liposuction. One of the most common questions is whether or not liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body. The answer is yes, liposuction does permanently remove fat cells. However, there are some important things to keep in mind when considering this procedure.
When we gain weight, our fat cells enlarge. Liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in a specific area, resulting in a more contoured appearance. The amount of fat extracted during liposuction depends on the appearance of the area and the volume of fat. This means that the results of liposuction are usually permanent as long as your weight remains stable.
It's important to understand that once fat cells are removed during liposuction, they will not grow back. However, this does not mean that you can't gain weight again. If you do gain weight, new fat cells will form and may go to different parts of your body. This is why maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is crucial in order to prevent weight gain and maintain the results of liposuction.
Some people may wonder if fat can reappear or "move" after liposuction. The answer is no. Liposuction results are permanent, not temporary. When we perform liposuction, the fat cells are permanently removed and will never reappear in that area.
In other words, liposuction permanently removes fat cells from target areas. However, it's important to note that maintaining the results of liposuction depends largely on your lifestyle choices after surgery. If you gain weight, the remaining fat cells in the treated area may expand and alter the body's contour. The more weight you gain after liposuction, the less dramatic your results will be.
This is why it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after liposuction. On average, liposuction procedures involve the removal of about 2 to 4 liters of fat, which is equivalent to about 5 to 8 pounds. Liposuction can also be combined with other plastic surgeries, such as facelifts, breast reductions, and tummy tucks. While liposuction permanently removes fat cells, it does not guarantee that you will have your desired body forever.
It is possible to continue gaining weight after liposuction. There are different types of liposuction, including laser-assisted liposuction or SmartLipo. This method uses a laser to liquefy fat before it is removed. However, it's important to note that liposuction can only remove soft fatty tissue and does not directly affect the skin or other tissues.
This means that it will not change the appearance of cellulite. Many patients considering liposuction are concerned about the longevity of their results. While liposuction does permanently remove a certain amount of fat cells, it is possible to continue gaining weight after the procedure. This is why maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial in order to maintain the results of liposuction.
In order to undergo liposuction, you must be in good health and not have any conditions that could make surgery difficult. The procedure involves using a thin tube called a cannula, which is connected to a vacuum to suck out fat from the body. It's important to choose a trusted and experienced plastic surgeon for this procedure. Rajat Gupta is one of those trusted names known for offering top-notch liposuction treatments in Delhi.
It's important to follow your surgeon's instructions after the procedure, including maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen. If you do gain weight after liposuction, areas that were not treated may become more noticeable in comparison. Before the liposuction procedure, your surgeon may mark circles and lines on the areas of your body that will be treated. This helps to ensure that the procedure is done accurately and effectively.
