The incisions that are made are typically small meaning that they will not cause a lot of scarring. The scarring that can be seen after the procedure, will tend to fade away in the years becoming barely visible if a few precautions will be followed. Avoiding excessive sun exposure will prevent permanent scarring, hyperpigmentation and darkening of the scar, however, if you plan on doing any outdoor activities, a high SPF sunscreen should be regularly applied. Staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy diet and quitting smoking will also help wound healing.
Depending on the age and health of the patient, these can affect the outcomes of liposuction, for example, younger patients tend to have better skin elasticity which helps the skin snap back into place. Also, general health plays an important role in the recovery process, while some medical conditions can affect recovery. There can also be some variations in the surgical techniques used by the surgeon, such as traditional liposuction, tumescent liposuction and VASER liposuction, that can affect the final results. Your doctor will discuss with you what procedure will be used and its potential effects.
The purpose of liposuction is not to treat stretchmarks or cellulite. However, with a constant healthy and balanced diet along with regular exercise, liposuction may improve the appearance of cellulite in some cases because the localised fat deposits will be removed. While liposuction may not be the specific procedure to treat cellulite, there are other treatments available that can reduce its appearance.
Liposuction can be used as body contouring after losing weight to redefine the body’s appearance, whether that be due to significant weight loss through a diet or an invasive surgery such as bariatric surgery. This is because some areas of the body may be left with resistant fat deposits that can be tackled by liposuction which can be a minimally invasive procedure (depending on the patient’s specific needs) to improve self-confidence and remove stubborn fat.
In order to maintain the results achieved after liposuction, it is important that the patient adopts a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise. These combined will prevent body weight fluctuations that may interfere with the results, therefore, always follow the instructions that you will be given after the operation.
