Later studies refuted this by proving that liposuction does not change a person’s ability to gain or lose weight. The procedure involves removing subcutaneous fat cells in the problem areas, helping the person to achieve a more proportionate body shape. However, these results would last only if there was no extreme weight gain.
The good news, say researchers, is that regular exercise can help counteract weight gain after liposuction. A study covering 36 women in Brazil who had small volume lipolysis showed that women who did not participated in the exercise program that began two months after the surgery experienced a 10% increase in belly fat compared to those who exercised thrice a week.
Leading plastic surgery centers offer liposuction treatment using minimally invasive technologies which are safe and effective. These include Smartlipo Triplex laser liposuction, radiofrequency assisted lipolysis with BodyTite, and ultrasound assisted body contouring treatment with VASER 2.0. Regardless of the technology used, it is important to maintain an overall healthy lifestyle with a proper diet and exercise to maintain the results.
