Since not only fat, but more importantly, fat cells are removed from the adipose tissue, fat can not be regained in the area that has been liposuctioned. Therefore, if you gain much weight it tends to go to other areas of the body, such as breasts, neck, arms, and thighs. This is only a problem if the patient does not maintain a healthy lifestyle and gains a significant amount of weight. Patients should not view liposuction as a substitute for dieting and exercise, nor as a weight loss procedure. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to reshape abdomen, thighs, chin, arms and other parts of the body. Ideal candidates for liposuction are those that have a stable weight and want to improve upon their body contour. Ideal candidates should also have good, elastic skin that will shrink well after liposuction.
 Dr. Younai uses the tumescent technique to remove fat from the body. During this procedure, the doctor infiltrates the fatty areas with a solution that helps reduce blood loss and eases the removal of fat. Then, through very tiny holes in the skin, fat is suctioned out. There are other fat removal techniques, such as ultrasonic or laser liposuction, however, Dr. Younai feels this procedure exposes patients to unnecessary risks. After undergoing liposuction, patients experience some temporary pain, bruising and discoloration in the treated areas. Most patients usually return to their normal activities within a few days.
