Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets and suctions out excess fat cells, sculpting and reshaping the body. It's not a weight-loss solution but a method to enhance your natural contours. Results can be long-lasting with proper lifestyle maintenance post-surgery.

Another type of liposuction is power-assisted lipo or PAL. Here, a small incision is made over the removal area. A specialized cannula is then inserted and rapidly vibrates, causing the fat tissues to break up. Lastly, the portions of fat are vacuumed or suctioned out.

Does liposuction help with weight loss?
From the simplest cosmetic surgery to the most complex, there are risks. Although safety and attention to detail are a high standard at Athēnix, potential risks may occur. However rare, each patient should understand that these complications can exist to proceed with awareness and clarity. Some possible risks and side effects of liposuction are swelling, bruising, blood clotting, and anesthesia allergies. Being thorough about your health history will help prevent such risks.
Patients generally return to approximately 25% of their regular exercise routine a week after their procedure, increasing intensity and duration over time. Patients typically return to work within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how much work they have done. As everyone is unique, it’s essential to listen to your body and follow the exercise recommendations as directed by your plastic surgeon.
Before considering treatment, liposuction is not a replacement for weight loss. This treatment removes fat cells in unwanted areas to reshape and contour the body; it can help you achieve a figure your genetics didn’t allow. However, you shouldn’t expect to lose many pounds or inches. Although liposuction offers long-term results, weight gain may diminish the look of your new curves. After treatment, you should continue to eat healthy and exercise regularly to maintain your desired results.
