Liposuction Myths

Liposuction has evolved from work performed in the late 60s to the marvel it is today, and as is the case with any long term procedure, it has accumulated a few myths along the way. Some myths may have derived from early techniques that were crude and could be dangerous to the patients, and some are just the product of people with overactive imaginations. We’ve compiled a list of what we consider the worst of the myths. Knowledge is power, and we think it’s important that you make the decision of whether or not to have liposuction with all the facts—not the liposuction myths! Read on for more information so you are in the know when you undergo your Arizona liposuction surgery!

Liposuction Myth 1: It Is an Excellent Weight Loss Tool – FALSE

Liposuction should only be considered as a last resort for when you have exercised and dieted and you are nearing the end of your weight loss journey, but still have a few remaining pockets of stubborn fat.

Liposuction Myth 2: Liposuction Rids Your Body of Cellulite – FALSE

Liposuction does not eliminate cellulite, but it can lessen the appearance of cellulite, which can cause confusion.

Liposuction Myth 3: It Is for Women Only – FALSE

Men suffer from the same fat issues as women, even if the stubborn pockets may be in different spots. Women’s excess fat tends to hang around in the thighs and hips, while men find it’s their stomachs, waists, and double chins that persist in holding onto the fat, no matter how much they work out and eat correctly.

Liposuction Myth 4: It Is Not Surgery – FALSE

Although the liposuction procedure is minimally invasive, it is still a surgical procedure and complications can arise. Liposuction should only be performed at a medical facility or hospital under sterile conditions and at the hands of a licensed physician. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Liposuction Myth 5: Fat Removed with Liposuction Is Gone Forever – TRUE

Fat removed by liposuction is permanently gone. However, patients who undergo liposuction sometimes make the mistake of thinking this means they will never have fat in that area again. While the majority of fat in the liposuction area will have been removed, it is necessary for some fat cells to remain. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat right, exercise frequently, and drink alcohol only in moderation, the results of liposuction can last forever. But if you fall back into your pre-weight loss habits, you WILL gain weight and destroy the results of your procedure. There is no magic to keeping your now beautiful figure; it takes dedication and hard work, but we think you will find it 100 percent worth it in the end!
