Liposuction is suggested to achieve long-term body fat recovery that could increase cardiometabolic risk. We hypothesized that physical activity could. Simply put, liposuction is no substitute for weight loss or exercise. It's not considered a treatment for obesity and doesn't promise lasting weight loss.
It does not eliminate cellulite or tighten loose or saggy skin. The procedure aims to eliminate areas of fat that do not respond to exercise or diet. While generally safe, liposuction can cause temporary metabolic fluctuations. Consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized risk assessment.
The fat will not return (and ideal results will remain intact) if the patient maintains their post-lipo weight. For example, if a patient weighed 130 pounds before liposuction and a total of 6 pounds were removed during the procedure, the fat will stay away if the patient keeps their weight at or below 124 pounds. Skin loses some firmness as people age, but the results of liposuction usually last a long time if you maintain your weight. If you gain weight after liposuction, your fat levels may change.
For example, fat can accumulate around the abdomen no matter what areas were originally treated. In a study led by Dr. Samuel Klein, from the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, researchers evaluated the effect of high-volume abdominal liposuction on metabolic risk factors for coronary heart disease in women with abdominal obesity.
Photographic measurements in 301 cases of liposuction and abdominoplasty reveal a reduction in fat without redistribution. During suction-assisted liposuction, the most common type of liposuction, the surgeon uses a thin tube connected to a vacuum to remove fat from under the skin. In addition, liposuction can sometimes be used to reduce excess breast tissue in men, a condition called gynecomastia. Liposuction reduced the volume of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue by 44% in women with normal glucose tolerance and 28% in those with diabetes; those with normal oral glucose tolerance lost 9.1 (3.8 kg) of fat (18% (3%) of decrease in total fat; P = 0.00), and those with type 2 diabetes lost 10.5 (3.6 kg) of fat (19% (2%) of decrease in total body fat; P.
Liposuction produces almost immediate results and instantly removes fat in isolated areas of the body to create Silhouette ideal. A prospective clinical study reveals a significant reduction in triglyceride level and white blood cell count after liposuction and tummy tuck and there is no change in cholesterol levels. The effects of liposuction removal of subcutaneous abdominal fat on lipid metabolism are independent of insulin sensitivity in people who are normally overweight. Liposuction can work if you have a lot of body fat in specific places but otherwise have a stable body weight. At least several weeks should elapse between liposuction treatments, as the body is slow to reduce the swelling caused by the procedure.
Before the liposuction procedure, the surgeon may mark circles and lines in the areas of the body to be treated. Beyond the dramatic initial results, many patients considering liposuction have concerns about longevity. Liposuction doesn't help treat dimpled skin due to cellulitis or other differences in the skin's surface. Liposuction involves removing fat cells from areas of the body that don't respond to weight loss caused by diet and exercise.
However, it's still possible to gain weight after liposuction because fat is deposited in fat cells that weren't treated with liposuction.
