How are the results from liposuction different from diet and exercise results? When we diet and exercise we loose weight from all over our bodies. Exercise can help to firm up the muscles under the fat. It is a misconception that exercising one part of the body can make you lose weight from that part of the body though. There is no amount of leg lifts that will make you lose weight from your thighs if you are genetically pre-disposed to put your weight there. Most of us have found that when we do lose weight we still maintain the same shape we started with. For instance, if you are a "pear" shape (genetically programmed to put your extra weight on your thighs and lower body) even if you lose weight and weigh 110 pounds you will probably still be a basically a "pear" shape. The marvelous thing about liposuction is that when you remove the fat cells from a certain area they are gone! We do not make more fat cells we only fill and empty the ones we have throughout our lives. So, if you take a few million fat cells out of an area, you can never regain that same previous shape because the storage units are just not there. Liposuction can actually "fool Mother Nature".
It is also a falacy that you have to be very close to your ideal weight before you should have anything done. Lets face it. Most of us (statistically speaking) will not be successful in the long term with our weight loss. Studies prove that 95% of the time, within 3 years, people have put back on the weight they have lost--plus more. Sad statistic, but true. If the fat cells are gone, though, they can't be re-filled with fat.
