Liposuction is a technique that is used to remove stubborn fat from your body. However, it should be noted that it is not a weight loss technique but merely a way to remove excess fat primarily for aesthetic purposes.
In clearer terms, liposuction will help you remove fats and fat cells thereby rendering the growth of fats. This doesn’t mean you’ll lose weight by a lot. Here’s all you need to know about this surgical procedure.
- Despite occupying maximum space, fats weigh a lot less. When fats are removed from a particular area, the growth of fats only in that area slows down. But some other part of your body might pick up the slack.
- When fat cells are removed by liposuction, they do not grow back in the same area where the fat was sucked out. If the person does not gain significant weight after the procedure, the appearance is quite pleasing.
- If a person gains weight after liposuction, as we said, the fats do not go to the part where liposuction was done. But since fats have to go somewhere, the areas not treated with liposuction will gain excess fats.
- Since fat is removed from those parts of the body that otherwise are hard to be removed, liposuction produces significant improvements aesthetically.
- It is important to know that if a person gains significantly higher amounts of weight after liposuction, there is a fair chance that new fat cells develop in the operated area.
- Liposuction is mainly a contouring procedure. It takes away the fat of a particular area and makes you lose a little weight. However, proper maintaining of healthy eating habits is required to maintain the shape gained after liposuction.
Liposuction will make you seem like you’ve toned down, but it has nothing to do with weight loss. Simply put, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, it is only a cosmetic procedure.
