Liposuction Pros & Cons

When people think of changes from liposuction, some don't consider all of the aspects--positive and negative. The body may go through changes afterward, and it's important to understand the entire procedure.

  1. Pro: Contouring

    • Liposuction can allow you to target specific areas and achieve the body shape you want.

    Con: Age

    • The older you are, the older your skin is--which means the elasticity of your skin may not be good enough to get the results you really want. Liposuction tends to work best for those of younger age with good skin elasticity.

    Con: Scars/Bruises

    • Liposuction can leave scars and/or bruises that could last an indefinite amount of time. Depending on the area you are considering having treated, this may not be an issue.

    Con: Extra Skin

    • Depending on the state of your skin's elasticity, you might be left with extra folds of skin until it can mold around the treated area. Some people never get rid of this excess skin, in which case another surgical procedure may be required to remove it.

    Pro: Definite Fat Cell Removal

    • Liposuction has given many people excellent results in that it can get rid of fat cells for good. This means the area you treat will no longer have any fat cells.
