  • How much weight do you lose after liposuction?

    Hi! Unfortunately, liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, and if this is your main goal right now, it isn't a solution I would recommend. Liposuction simply targets deposits of fat in the body that don't disappear despite consistent exercise and dieting. In fact, before you can receive liposuction, you need to be at your ideal weight or close to it which you will need to maintain to enjoy the results of the procedure long term. If you are looking to lose weight through surgical means, you can consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon on exploring the possibilities of bariatric surgery instead. You can also check these helpful tips to prevent weight gain after liposuction: https://www.mwbreast.com/how-to-prevent-weight-gain-after-liposuction/ READ MORE

  • Does fat come back after a tummy tuck?

    Hi! During a tummy tuck, fat cells are removed from the body and will not return to the treated area. For this reason, patients who gain weight after their procedure may experience this in other areas such as the buttocks, legs, arms, and breasts. The results of your tummy tuck will be preserved if you have only minor weight fluctuations. But excessive weight gain will definitely affect your results and may cause the skin in the abdominal area to stretch. READ MORE
