Results are permanent for the treated fat cells, which are removed from your body. However, maintaining a stable weight through healthy lifestyle habits is important to preserve your results. Significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction, sometimes called lipoplasty or body contouring surgery, is a surgical procedure that permanently removes unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of your body. This technique uses thin, hollow tubes called cannulas to suction out excess fat cells that don't respond to diet and exercise, creating smoother and more defined body contours.
Brandon patients choose liposuction to address persistent fat in areas including:
- Abdomen and lower belly
- Waist and flanks (love handles)
- Hips
- and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Bra line and upper back
- Lower back
- Under the chin (submental area)
These zones often retain fat regardless of how much you exercise or how carefully you eat. Liposuction can improve definition and create smoother contours in each of these regions, helping you achieve the body shape that reflects your efforts.
