Liposuction Myth: You Won’t Gain Weight After Liposuction
This myth needs to be dissected a bit and can actually be a bit of a myth and a truth. It is true that the specific fat cells that are removed during liposuction will not return. But if the patient does not maintain a healthy lifestyle following surgery, weight can be gained, negating the results of the liposuction procedure. In order to have long-lasting results, it takes a commitment to not gaining the weight back.
Liposuction Truth: Liposuction is a Surgical Procedure and Should Be Treated as Such
As with any plastic surgery, you will have rules to follow after the procedure. It is a liposuction myth that liposuction is not an actual surgery. All of the same rules apply to liposuction including diet restrictions and wearing a compression garment after the surgery.

Liposuction Myth: Liposuction is for Patients Who Want to Lose Weight
While it’s inevitable that fat is removed during the procedure, it is a liposuction myth that it can be used as a weight loss alternative. Consider liposuction as a body sculpting procedure. It can make minor changes to the shape of your body, but should not be considered until you are close to your ultimate weight goal. Then liposuction can help you eliminate the fat from your problem areas.
