What Results Should I Expect From Liposuction?

Before seriously starting to think about liposuction, one thing should be clear: the purpose of liposuction is not to lose weight but to reshape the body figure. The success of the operation will not be determined by the quantity of removed fat but by the possibility of removing it from specific areas, giving the patient a more harmonic silhouette.
A good plastic surgeon will not only be an excellent doctor, but will also have a good sense of aesthetics, which is a skill like any other and should never be taken for granted. A particular plastic surgeon may be very good at facial liposuction, but not as good at reshaping a nose or at arm liposuction.

Both from a medical and an aesthetic standpoint, a good surgeon will know that every patient is different. Maybe the metaphor of the tailor crafting a suit is probably too stretched, but not that far from the truth either. The result of an operation must be carefully studied beforehand. After the patient has been given anesthesia, the surgeon needs to know exactly where to put the pipes that will remove the fat and exactly how much fat should be removed.
Although the vast majority of liposuction operations are successful, 2-3% of cases are however (esthetically) unsuccessful. For example, the pipes used to suck the fat may leave depressions (which could be corrected with another operation), or even after the tissues have stabilized, the skin ma still be swollen in some areas.
If, on the other hand the operation is successful (which, it is worth reminding, happens in 98% of the cases), the results are definitive, because the number of fat cells is fixed in every individual: they can get bigger, but they cannot increase in number. Once these cells (technically called adipocytes) are gone, they are gone forever. So, even if, as we said above, liposuction is not about removing how much fat as possible, the quantity of removed fat has a role to play.
