Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in America. But, despite its popularity, some misconceptions still surround it. Dr. David Funt, long regarded as a top board-certified plastic surgeon in the New York Metro area, clears up those misunderstandings in this blog so you understand the procedure before scheduling a consultation.
One of the most common misconceptions is that liposuction is a method to achieve significant weight loss. Liposuction is designed for body contouring, not whole-body fat loss.
It’s true that liposuction can remove large amounts of fat, but it’s best at targeting localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. In fact, Dr. Funt generally recommends getting as close as possible to your ideal weight before liposuction.
While liposuction can produce dramatic results, the final outcome takes time. Although you can see a definite decrease in fat pockets, it may take several months for the swelling to recede completely.
Wear a compression garment and follow Dr. Funt’s personalized instructions to navigate recovery successfully, and you can expect to see the final outcome as soon as possible.
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells, but the nearby fat cells can grow larger if you don’t maintain a healthy diet and exercise plan. As long as you’re committed to maintaining your results, you can love the skin you’re in for a long time to come.
Liposuction is versatile and can be performed all over the body, including the thighs, hips, buttocks, upper arms, back, and even under the chin. It’s not unusual for the skin in these areas to stretch out over the years, which may leave skin a bit loose following fat removal.
It’s a common misconception that liposuction tightens the skin after it removes fat. However, Dr. Funt addresses this misunderstanding by offering an immediate solution.
BodyTite is a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that you can add to your liposuction procedure. Adding BodyTite to your surgery allows you to contour and tighten your treatment areas at the same time.
