Liposuction removes areas of fat deposits around the body via a hollow metal suction tube that is passed through the fatty tissue. Sometimes an ultrasound is used to break down fat cells for removal. Complications are infrequent, but include hematoma, infection, scarring or other indentations or skin irregularities.

An abdominoplasty is a procedure that removes excess or sagging abdominal skin. Generally, a horizontal incision is made above the pubic area or above the belly button, depending where the loose skin resides. To tighten the abdominal wall, the surgeon brings loose underlying tissue and muscle together with sutures. Risks include bleeding, infection, tissue loss along the incision or fluid buildup under the skin.
After getting lipo, will the excess skin shrink back to size?
Following liposuction, loose skin tends to become looser. It all depends on the appearance and quality of the patient’s skin, and everyone is different. Your plastic surgeon should always explain during the consultation for liposuction that the final appearance and tone of the skin is unpredictable. A second procedure is sometimes necessary to remove the excess/loose skin following liposuction. For example, if a patient has liposuction of the tummy and the skin becomes more loose after the fat pockets are removed, it is sometimes necessary to perform a tummy tuck to remove the skin. The same holds true for other areas of the body such as the neck, arms and legs.
Can you gain weight again after lipo? Can some people who’ve had it still not be skinny? And if you get your stomach sucked, will fat accumulate in other body parts?
Liposuction, or lipoplasty, slims and reshapes specific areas of the body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. It is not a way to lose weight. Liposuction removes fat from the areas treated, but leaves enough remaining so as to not create an abnormal contour. It is still possible to gain or lose weight after liposuction, however the overall new proportions that were created with the liposuction procedure should remain. So, if someone has liposuction of the tummy and then gains weight, that person will still gain weight in the tummy but not as much as they would had he or she not had liposuction. Can you gain weight again after lipo? Can some people who’ve had it still not be skinny? And if you get your stomach sucked, will fat accumulate in other body parts? A significant weight gain can reverse your results.
Can Butt Implants Explode If You Fall Hard Enough?
“Can butt implants explode?”
With the popularity of butt implants and augmentation increasing, this is a question we’re seeing more and more of. A buttock implant is very different from a breast implant. Breast implants are made from a silicone gel. This means that they are like jello on the inside. A buttock implant is a called a “solid Elastomer” which means that it cannot leak or burst. Even if it cracks, it is like a gummy bear so that it will be fine.
The short and sweet answer is no, butt implants cannot explode if you fall too hard.
