FAQ

Are the results permanent?

Yes. Removed fat cells do not grow back. Maintaining a stable weight is key.

Is liposuction painful?

After surgery, you may experience a soreness similar to muscle aches, which is usually well manageable.

Does the skin tighten automatically?

This depends on skin quality and age. In some cases, additional skin-tightening treatments may be recommended.
