Can you do liposuction twice?

Can I Have Liposuction More Than Once? A second liposuction procedure is possible if you develop additional fatty deposits. However, because liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, it is suggested that you get as close as you can to your final desired weight before undergoing a second liposuction treatment.

Weight Gain After Liposuction: Will the Fat Come Back?

Posted May 25, 2020 in Liposuction

Suction assisted lipectomy —or liposuction—removes fatty deposits from unwanted locations on the body. These treatments will have long-term effects; however, weight loss alone is not permanent without lifestyle modifications. While the removed fat cells will not grow back, fat cells in other areas of the body may increase in size. This means that if a patient does not eat sensibly, fat may appear to ‘move’ to other non-treated locations on your body. Remember, liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment, and is not a suitable substitute for diet and exercise.

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that is used to eliminate fat cells. Liposuction can only target subcutaneous fat deposits, that is the fat between skin and the underlying muscle. Fat deposits around internal organs, known as visceral fat, cannot be treated with liposuction. The patient is usually under general anesthesia during liposuction. An incision is made near the targeted fat deposits and a small tube/curette is inserted to break off and suck out excess fat cells. This removed material can be used for other procedures, such as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).

Do Fat Cells Grow Back After Liposuction?

When fat is removed by liposuction, the fat cells and deposits are gone for good (you do not create new fat cells after the age of 18). However, if you gain significant weight during or after your recovery, the remaining fat cells can enlarge in both the treated areas and elsewhere on the body—especially in the untreated areas where the number of fat calls has not been reduced.

Can I Gain Weight After Liposuction?

The results of your liposuction will not immediately vanish if you gain a few pounds; however, weight gain is still possible after body contouring surgery. The areas where liposuction was performed will accumulate fat slower compared to untreated areas, but they are not immune.

Can I Have Liposuction More Than Once?

A second liposuction procedure is possible if you develop additional fatty deposits. However, because liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, it is suggested that you get as close as you can to your final desired weight before undergoing a second liposuction treatment.

How Do I Prevent Fat After Liposuction?

To prevent the return of fat, we suggest a series of lifestyle changes, including some of the following. Maintain a healthy diet, one that focuses on protein and fresh fruits and vegetables. Arrange your life to accommodate a series of smaller meals with limited fats and sugars. Maintain hydration, especially when exercising or living in hot or dry environments. Exercise regularly, especially high-cardio exercises that burn calories and improve muscle tone. Consult your surgeon about more personalized after-care suggestions.

How many pounds is an inch off your waist?

Multiple regression tells us that on average, for every 8.5 pounds lost, people dropped an inch off their waist. (And for every 1.5 kilograms lost, people dropped a centimeter off their waist.) Every 10 pounds lost was accompanied by 1.18 inches of waistline reduction.

REDDITORS’ BEFORE AND AFTER MEASUREMENTS ANALYZED

How many pounds do you need to lose in order to reduce your waistline by one inch? How many kilos do you need to lose to reduce your waistline by one centimeter?

We wanted to find out. We were having trouble finding published data (though we are expecting some soon), so we turned to Reddit, where the progresspics subreddit contains people’s before-and-after weight change stories. Most posts contain only pictures, but if you do some web scraping, you can find cases in which people post their before-and-after waist measurements. We found 46 such cases, typed them up, ran them through R, tidyr, dplyr, and ggplot and made the picture above. Multiple regression tells us that on average, for every 8.5 pounds lost, people dropped an inch off their waist. (And for every 1.5 kilograms lost, people dropped a centimeter off their waist.) Every 10 pounds lost was accompanied by 1.18 inches of waistline reduction. (Every 5 kg lost was accompanied by 3.33 cm of waistline reduction.) The picture is a bit rosier for those who were losing smaller amounts (under 55 pounds or 25 kg): They only had to lose 6.1 pounds to lose an inch (or 1.1 kg to lose a centimeter).
