The first thing to realise is that liposuction is primarily for refining and sculpting body figure; it is not a weight-loss procedure. Patients should not expect to eat unhealthy foods and not exercise without the typical consequences. Daily exercise and a healthy diet after a procedure are the best ways to maintain your liposuction results in the long term. As well as the liposuction, we do provide personalised nutrition and lifestyle advice to help keep the weight off.
In the targeted area, we do remove fat cells that do not come back which means the shaping from the liposuction is very likely to last. However, the remaining fat cells are able to get larger if the patient gains weight. The area treated will generally not gain weight at the same rate as the other parts of your body due to the removal of fat cells.
So, if you want to ensure your remaining fat cells do not expand, you should do your part to maintain your weight through diet and exercise.
