Liposuction is a very popular procedure performed to slim the body. However, there are still many misconceptions surrounding this procedure. We have listed the most common misunderstands, and what you should know about liposuction.
Liposuction Can Remove Cellulite
While liposuction can remove stubborn pockets of fat, it cannot remove cellulite. Cellulite occurs when subcutaneous fat pushes connective tissue bands beneath the skin, causing dimples and bumps. Liposuction can only remove fatty tissues and cannot alter cellulite.
Liposuction is Dangerous
While every cosmetic procedure carries some risk, liposuction techniques have become increasing sophisticated. When performed by a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Shienbaum, the risks are dramatically decreased, and liposuction can be as safe as any other surgical procedure.
Liposuction Can Fix Lax Skin
Liposuction cannot tighten loose skin. If you are dealing with lax skin, your surgeon may recommend a skin tightening procedure to create optimal results.
Fat Will Return After Liposuction
Results from liposuction are long-term, so once fat cells are removed they cannot grown back. However, the remaining fat cells can still grow in size if you gain weight. The best way to maintain results is to follow a healthy diet and exercise schedule.
