Who does it | Types of liposuction | Risks and side effects | 5 liposuction misconceptions | Who is a good candidate

Misconception: Liposuction is not really surgery.
Truth: Doctor + operating room + anesthesia = surgery. Enough said.

Misconception: The fat won't come back to the areas where liposuction was performed.
Truth: Not all of the fat cells are removed during liposuction, so if the patient gains a significant amount of weight, the treated areas will get larger.

Misconception: Liposuction eliminates cellulite.
Truth: Cellulite isn't fat; it's a web of fibrous bands that connects your skin to the underlying muscle. Liposuction can make it worse.

Misconception: Liposuction replaces dieting.
Truth: Liposuction is not a solution for a weight problem. It is intended to treat problem areas that store disproportionate amounts of fat compared with the rest of the body.

Misconception: Liposuction can chisel a six-pack.
Truth: Liposuction can sculpt the body, but a six-pack is muscle and nothing but exercise can make that happen!
