Variation of Liposuction Results

There are a few reasons why someone may end up with less than perfect results from a perfectly performed liposuction procedure.  One reason can be due to skin laxity.  He or she may have looser skin or pre-existing stretch marks.  It is a sign that the desired amount of post liposuction skin tightening may not be possible. In addition, some people may have had prior surgeries with large amounts of scarring.  This could significantly limit the potential for smoothness after a lipo procedure. It is also vital for patients to follow all post-op instructions. Some patients may not have followed up regularly with office visits or phone call as instructed. Following a liposculpture procedure, we encourage an active, healthy lifestyle.  Some patients do not continue to exercise and diet afterwards to ensure optimal results. As with any type of procedure, there is a variation of results.

To get a better idea of how results vary for patients with different body types, prior surgical scars, varying degrees of laxity, and more, visit Pacific Lipo's Before & After Photo Gallery.

Although results may vary, one can still appreciate the significant improvement that may be achieved when the procedure is performed by an experience liposuction specialist.  That being said, patients must keep in mind that not everyone will be completely thrilled with their results, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the technique used by the liposuctionist was poor.  Sometimes our body don't heal as nicely as we would all hope.  The goal of any lipo procedure is to help every patient look much better but unfortunately not every patient will feel better despite all reasonable efforts.
