How long do liposuction results last?

For most patients, liposuction is permanent, and the results are permanent. The procedure itself removes fat cells from the target areas forever.

However, the permanence of your liposuction results will also depend on how well you maintain your weight after surgery. While gaining a few extra lbs. (5-10, for example) shouldn’t ruin your results, gaining more than that may cause fat cells to plump up in the targeted areas, and this can alter your physique again. If this happens, it’s important to try to lose the weight you’ve regained naturally.
