Frequently Asked Questions
Is liposuction permanent?
Yes — removed fat cells don't grow back. However, remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving results long-term.
How much fat can liposuction remove?
Safety guidelines limit removal to about 5 liters (11 lbs) in a single session. Liposuction is for contouring, not major weight loss. Ideal candidates are within 30% of their goal weight.
