Are The Results After Laser Liposuction Permanent?

Among the several advantages of laser liposuction is the cost, which is relatively lower than that of a conventional liposuction. But although laser liposuction is generally more affordable than other similar procedures, the results are still more or less satisfying. The real question is if laser lipo will be able to give lasting results.

Fat Cells Permanently Removed

First, we must understand how liposuction works in general. Liposuction can simply mean sucking out body fat to give a slimmer and more shapely form. When fat cells are removed from an adult body, they are gone for good. Adults do not “regenerate” fat cells. Fat cells are only able to expand if there is some weight gain. Thus, the results of any kind of liposuction are in a way permanent.

Should you gain a considerable amount of weight, the majority of fat will be drained into parts of the body where the operation was not performed. Of course, this would be a likely occurrence only if you gained 20 pounds for instance. With a reasonable diet and exercise regimen, you should be able to maintain your new look for a lifetime. Your diet and exercise regimen doesn’t even have to be drastic nor strenuous – just keep it consistent.

Collagen Growth In The Skin

In the case of laser liposuction, you’ll be able to see how aesthetic results can last almost immediately after the operation. The procedure triggers the production of collagen in the skin with the assistance of laser technology and is ideal for all skin types. Because there is very minimal to no damage to the skin and there is a good amount of collagen produced during surgery, the tautness and smoothness of the skin is preserved.

In other cases where conventional methods are used, the skin can continue to sag in time despite liposuction and can cut short the “life span” of your new look. This is because traditional liposuction does not deal with the excess skin that’s left after large amounts of fat have been taken out. So if you think about it, even losing further weight can worsen the droopiness of the skin in the stomach area if the skin was not properly treated during surgery.

Number Of Treatments Required

Lasting results won’t necessarily call for numerous treatments. For the majority of patients, usually only a single session is needed. A laser lipo procedure may endure from 45 to 60 minutes only for every portion of the body treated. If more sessions are required, they are very fast and easy to undergo again due to the procedure’s less invasive nature.
