Frequently Asked Questions
Is liposuction permanent?
Fat cells removed during liposuction do not grow back. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight is important for lasting results.
What is recovery like?
Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks. Full results are visible after 3-6 months once swelling fully resolves. Your surgeon will provide specific recovery guidelines.
Am I a good candidate?
Ideal candidates are at or near their goal weight with good skin elasticity and realistic expectations. A consultation with a board-certified surgeon is the best way to determine candidacy.
