Liposuction has gained significant popularity due to social media’s attention towards it. Unfortunately, in response to that, there have been unrealistic expectations and withdrawn truths that have been associated with the surgical procedure. While Liposuction is a recommended and highly effective surgical method, we always strive to provide our patients with facts and expectations to consider before a procedure.
Before breaking down the myths from truths, it is essential to understand what Liposuction is and does. A surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat cells that sit in the body’s body, liposuction can help improve the hips, stomach, arms, buttock, back and thighs. The procedure can complement other treatments, such as a tummy tuck or buttock fat removal. Our surgeons often determine this process to outline the best and most advanced method.
Doesn’t Remove Cellulite
Caused by fibres pulling down on the skin and fat pushing against the skin, cellulite is prevalent. Liposuction can help reduce the fat, but it ultimately won’t eliminate cellulite and recommended skin tightening and radiofrequency treatments are also advised alongside.
Won’t End Lifestyle Habits
When it comes to your lifestyle, this requires mental and physical change alongside surgical treatment. Although Liposuction can address some concerns, areas such as healthy eating have to be readily implemented. Prioritising healthy eating instead of refined sugars and fats will help to maintain results.
Won’t Reduce Weight
Liposuction will not dramatically reduce your weight but will help contour the body instead.
Won’t Tighten Skin or Remove Cellulite
Outside of fat removal, skin laxity doesn’t change before or after liposuction. In cases like these, we often recommend a skin tightening treatment such as Accent Prime or Liposonix if this is your primary degree of concern. Similarly, post-healing may recommend a treatment plan to introduce skin tightening for an overall tightened appearance.
