Myth #1: Liposuction = weight loss Many people confuse liposuction with weight loss. Liposuction and weight loss are two completely different concepts. The main function of liposuction is to improve body shape. For example, some people are not overweight, but the local fat accumulation affects the beauty, so they need to do liposuction surgery. Weight loss, on the other hand, is for people who are overweight. How much energy a person consumes and how much energy he or she takes in each day depends on the individual differences of each person. If the amount of energy taken in is equal to the amount of energy consumed, then it is possible to maintain a relatively constant weight over time. People who have a good appetite and do not exercise take in more energy than they consume, and then the excess energy becomes fat and is hoarded. Therefore, not only should you pay attention to dieting before having liposuction surgery, but you should not feel free to eat and drink a lot after local liposuction, otherwise your weight will increase instead. Myth 2: Liposuction will rebound afterwards Many people worry that although liposuction surgery removes some fat, if you eat and drink a lot or don’t pay attention to exercise after the surgery, it won’t be long before the fat grows back, so liposuction surgery will have to be done again and again. However, this seemingly reasonable speculation is actually completely wrong. This is due to the principle of liposuction surgery. It turns out that there are two types of fat cells in the human body. One is “superficial fat”, which is distributed all over the body and is more sensitive to energy metabolism, so it is easier to lose through diet and exercise. The other kind of “deep fat” is mainly distributed in the abdomen, waist, hips, arms, thighs, calves, chin and other parts of the body, which are consumed abnormally slowly and are difficult to remove. Liposuction mainly targets the deep fat layer. The number of deep fat cells is certain, and the fat or thinness of a person is mainly determined by the size of the cells. When liposuction removes the “deep fat”, its number is greatly reduced, and even if the cells become fatter in the future, it is extremely limited. This is the reason why many people who have undergone liposuction find that even though they eat and drink a lot and gain weight, they do not gain weight in the area where the fat was removed. Myth 3: Liposuction is dangerous When it comes to liposuction, the first thing that comes to mind for many people is the danger. There is a certain amount of risk in any surgery, and the key depends on the size of the risk. After more than 20 years of development, the risk of liposuction surgery has been greatly reduced, and it has long been a fairly mature cosmetic surgery, and its trauma, bleeding, and post-operative complications have been greatly reduced compared to the previous ones. At present, the more advanced liposuction is the low negative pressure ultrasonic liposuction with blunt, small-diameter suction tip, which has the main advantages of flat suction area, less trauma and less bleeding. In the technical operation, in addition to the “deep fat” suction, the “superficial subcutaneous fat” suction is also performed, so that better results can be obtained after the operation. As long as you go to a regular plastic surgery medical institution, choose a qualified plastic surgeon, and strictly follow the preoperative preparation, intraoperative operation and postoperative treatment, the safety of liposuction surgery is fully guaranteed.
