The biggest misconceptions about liposuction: Royal, Belograde✓

Liposuction has become one of the most famous solutions for body contouring, but it is often surrounded by many myths and misunderstandings. Although it is effective in removing localized fat deposits, it is important to understand what liposuction can really achieve and what it cannot. In this text, we will clarify the most important information that you should keep in mind before deciding on this aesthetic procedure.

Liposuction is not a weight loss method

Many people think that liposuction can be a quick way to lose weight, but this is not true. Although it removes a certain amount of fat, liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and physical activity. This procedure is most effective for people who are already within a healthy body weight and want to eliminate stubborn fat deposits that cannot be removed by exercise or diet. On average, patients lose between 2 and 5 kilograms, which is not a significant weight loss.

Liposuction does not cure cellulite

Although liposuction removes subcutaneous fat, it does not affect the texture of the skin. Cellulite occurs due to the irregular distribution of fat and connective tissue, which creates characteristic depressions. Liposuction can improve the appearance of the body in certain areas, but it will not change the structure of the connective tissue that causes cellulite. Other treatments or procedures may be needed to address cellulite.

Liposuction is suitable for the elderly

There is a belief that liposuction is not suitable for the elderly, but this is not true. Although the elderly may have reduced skin elasticity, liposuction can be effective for them as well, provided they are in good general health. If the skin has lost a lot of elasticity, liposuction can be combined with skin tightening treatments, achieving better results.

Liposuction is a safe procedure when it is in the hands of an expert

Like any surgical intervention, liposuction carries certain risks, but modern techniques and equipment have made this procedure much safer than before. If the procedure is performed by an experienced and certified plastic surgeon, the risks are minimal. Recovery is usually quick, and many patients quickly return to daily activities. However, it is important to strictly follow the surgeon's instructions to avoid complications.

The skin is not only tightened by liposuction

If you expect liposuction to solve the problem of loose skin, this is not the case. This procedure removes fat, but does not affect skin tightening. Loose skin, often the result of aging, pregnancy or significant weight loss, requires additional treatments. In some cases, combining liposuction with skin tightening procedures can help achieve better results.

Keeping score is key

Although liposuction removes fat cells that cannot grow back, remaining fat cells can grow if diet and physical activity are not taken care of. So, although liposuction provides long-term results, maintaining a stable body weight and regular exercise are key to preserving the achieved changes.

Liposuction is not a "quick fix" for weight loss

Liposuction is not a miracle procedure that solves all your weight problems. Although it is effective in shaping the body, it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. The best candidates for liposuction are people who have already achieved a stable body weight and want to shape specific areas of their body. Liposuction is most effective as an aid in shaping the body, not as a weight loss method.

Recovery is necessary

Although liposuction is often performed as an outpatient procedure, it is necessary to plan for recovery time. Most patients need to take at least a week off, and full recovery usually takes several weeks. During this period, bruising, swelling and mild pain may occur in the treated areas. Physical activities and hard work should be avoided for at least four to six weeks until the body fully recovers.

Liposuction is becoming increasingly popular among men

Although liposuction is best known among women, more and more men are opting for this procedure. Men most often choose liposuction for the treatment of the stomach, love handles, and even breasts. This procedure is becoming more and more popular among the male population, who also want to shape their body and achieve the desired contours.

Liposuction does not remove visceral fat

Liposuction only targets subcutaneous fat, while visceral fat, which surrounds the internal organs, cannot be treated with this procedure. Reducing visceral fat requires a different approach, including proper nutrition and physical activity. If your goal is to reduce visceral fat, it is important to focus on a healthy lifestyle, with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

If you are considering liposuction, it is best to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to help you make an informed decision based on your goals and needs.
