Liposuction Specialist in Princeton, NJ and North Brunswick, NJ

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure used in several areas of the body to essentially “suck” out excess fat. Liposuction helps patients achieve the desired contour of their body and permanently removes fat cells, allowing for permanent results as long as the patient can manage their weight long-term.

Liposuction is recommended for anyone who is struggling to get rid of stubborn fat deposits. The liposuction procedure involves the removal of fat cells, which increase in size when weight is gained. It is impossible to remove all of the fat cells in the area, so if the patient gains weight after the procedure, the remaining fat cells will still increase in size, which is why the ideal candidate will have a stable weight for the foreseeable future.

Liposuction is not typically recommended as a weight loss solution on its own, and it is sometimes used after a significant weight loss to help get rid of that last bit of stubborn fat. It offers some weight loss, but liposuction usually has more to do with the final contour and shape of the body rather than the final number on the scale. If you are looking for surgery to start with your weight loss journey, something more like a bariatric procedure would likely be a better fit, but liposuction is a great way to get rid of defined areas of unwanted fat.

If you are already at your goal weight, you can expect a weight loss of around 2 to 3 pounds, which is pure fat removal. For those who have yet to reach their goal weight, liposuction can remove closer to 10 pounds total of excess fat to further support the weight loss. Although liposuction was not first intended to be a weight loss solution, many physicians have started offering it as an option to those who require more medical support for their weight loss. While it is much more common to only lose a few pounds with a liposuction procedure to trim off any of the excess fat, there are quite a few cases where patients have been able to lose closer to 20 to 30 pounds after receiving a liposuction treatment and continuing with their weight loss program including the healthy diet and balanced physical exercise.
