Liposuction FAQs
No, liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. Ideal candidates are within 10-15 pounds of their target weight but have stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise. The procedure removes fat cells permanently from treated areas, but maintaining a stable weight is essential for long-term results.
Safety limits typically allow removal of 5 liters (about 11 pounds) of fat in an outpatient setting. Larger volumes may require hospital admission. However, the focus is on sculpting rather than volume removed. We prioritize your safety and natural-looking results over removing the maximum amount of fat.
Most patients need 3-7 days off work, depending on the extent of treatment. Swelling and bruising gradually improve over 2-4 weeks. Light exercise can resume after 2 weeks, with full activities after 4-6 weeks. Compression garments are typically worn for 4-6 weeks to help with healing and contouring.
The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently gone. However, remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight through healthy diet and exercise is important to preserve your results. The treated areas will always have fewer fat cells, so they're less likely to accumulate fat than untreated areas.
Liposuction removes fat but doesn't address excess skin or muscle separation. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, with optional fat removal. Some patients benefit from combining both procedures. During your consultation, we'll recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and goals.
