Liposuction permanently removes fat cells through a cannula, and those cells do not come back.
Liposuction is a procedure that removes fatty deposits from underneath the skin. We provide anesthesia, then remove the fat cells permanently with a liposuction cannula. Once the fat cells are removed, they do not come back. If you gain weight later, you might gain it in other areas that have not had liposuction, so we encourage a healthy, clean diet afterward.
Yes, we wrote this to be found when you search how liposuction works. We are glad you are here. Dr. Schneider explained the procedure and answered the question people ask most.
Liposuction is a procedure where we remove fatty deposits from underneath the skin. We provide anesthesia, and there are a couple of different types depending on patient preference. Then we remove the fat cells permanently with a liposuction cannula, where the fat is extracted.
People often ask whether the fat will come back in these areas if they gain weight in the future. The answer is a resounding no. Once the fat cells are removed, they have no ability to get bigger or hypertrophy if you were to gain weight.
If you gain weight, you might gain it preferentially in other areas that have not had liposuction. That is why we always encourage our patients to keep a healthy, clean diet after liposuction. To plan next steps, see liposuction from start to finish, what liposuction costs, and recovery.
