Vaser Liposuction is a surical cosmetic procedure designed to target and remove fat from specific areas of the body. It’s not a method for overall weight loss but focuses on reducing fat in certain areas.

Understandably, many people considering this procedure have questions about weight changes afterward:

  • What happens to the results if I gain weight?
  • Will fat return to the treated areas?
  • Where will new fat show up after surgery?

These are important concerns, and understanding how weight gain might affect your results is key before undergoing the procedure.

Liposuction is Not for Overall Weight Loss

It’s important to know that liposuction isn’t a substitute for healthy habits like balanced eating or regular exercise. Instead, it’s designed to reduce fat in specific areas, such as the abdomen or thighs, that might not respond to diet and exercise alone.

While the fat cells removed during liposuction don’t grow back, gaining weight afterward can still change your body shape.

Will Fat Return After Liposuction?

The fat cells removed during the procedure are gone permanently. However, weight gain can cause the fat cells that remain in treated or untreated areas to expand. This could change your overall body shape.

Maintaining a steady weight is important to keep the results of your procedure. If weight gain does occur, the distribution of new fat can vary depending on your body type.

Exercise Can Help Maintain Liposuction Results

Staying active is one of the most effective ways to maintain your results after liposuction. Regular exercise not only supports a stable weight but can also help prevent the accumulation of visceral fat.

Visceral fat, stored deep in the abdomen, is linked to health concerns like heart disease and diabetes. While liposuction targets subcutaneous fat (just under the skin), a sedentary lifestyle can increase visceral fat over time.

By establishing a consistent exercise routine after surgery, you’ll support your overall health and help maintain the changes from your liposuction procedure.
