Myth 1 liposuction is weight loss. Truth it is body contouring for stubborn fat not weight loss. 

Myth 2 fat comes back after lipo. Truth removed fat cells are gone permanently but remaining cells can enlarge with weight gain. 

Myth 3 liposuction removes cellulite. Truth cellulite is a connective tissue issue not a fat issue.

Myth 4 skin will sag after lipo. Truth in younger patients skin retracts naturally and VASER provides additional tightening. Significant loose skin needs a tummy tuck. 

Myth 5 all liposuction is the same. Truth tumescent VASER and HD lipo have different strengths. 

Myth 6 anyone can do liposuction. Truth the aesthetic result depends on contouring skill that trained plastic surgeons spend years learning.

Myth 7 liposuction is dangerous. Truth when performed by a qualified surgeon in an accredited facility the safety record is excellent. Key is not removing more than 4 to 5 litres per session.
