Fact: Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution. It’s for healthy

• Fact: Liposuction is for anyone seeking a cosmetic way to remove stubborn fat deposits. It can be performed on men and women in various areas like the chest, arms, back, buttocks, thighs, etc.

• Fact: Liposuction removes fat, not tightening skin or eliminating stretch marks. In some cases, it might even make the skin appear looser. For skin tightening and stretch mark removal, other cosmetic procedures like a tummy tuck might be more suitable.

• Fact: Liposuction results are permanent only if you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Removed fat cells are gone, but remaining fat cells can grow if you don’t eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.

• Fact: Liposuction is not an alternative to a healthy lifestyle. It’s a procedure for removing stubborn fat deposits, not a magic bullet for weight loss. It requires a recovery period and following post-surgical precautions.

• Fact: Liposuction is generally an option for anyone above 18, but with some important considerations. Overall health is a key factor, not just age. Thorough check-ups are important for older patients to ensure safety and effectiveness. Skin elasticity and desired body contouring are also crucial factors for candidacy.

• Fact: There are different types of liposuction procedures, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the best type depends on factors like age, health, and the amount and location of fat targeted. Common types include tumescent, laser-assisted, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction.

• Fact: The cost of liposuction varies depending on the type of procedure, surgeon’s experience, amount of fat removed, location of the clinic, and type of anesthesia used.
