Is liposuction effective as a general weight loss technique?
No. While the liposuction procedure does result in some weight loss, it is not an effective technique for overall weight loss, as fat that is removed through liposuction can be quickly regenerated if the patient does not adopt a healthy and sensible diet and exercise routine. Liposuction is a body sculpting procedure, designed to target areas of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise.
