Liposuction FAQ

Serving Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Is liposuction an effective weight loss tool?

No. Liposuction is designed to address relatively small areas of diet and exercise resistant fat, not to affect overall weight loss.

Who is a good candidate for liposuction?

People who are in generally good health, but who are unhappy with specific areas of fat accumulation are often ideal candidates for liposuction.

Will the effects of my liposuction last?

This depends, in large part, on specific personal factors. If you maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen, the effects of your procedures can be permanent. Liposuction, however, does not prevent remaining fat cells from becoming larger, or new fat cells from forming.
