5 LIPOSUCTION MISCONCEPTIONS
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!
