Procedures like liposuction and BBL can dramatically reshape the body but how long do they lasts totally depends on what happens during the surgery. This article fully explains how long these results last and how to maintain them.



How Liposuction Removes Fat And Shapes The Body

Doing liposuction surgery

Liposuction is the procedure which involves breaking up and suctioning out the fat cells from the body like abdomen, hips or thighs.



During this procedure a small tube is inserted under the skin which gently suction out excess fat. By removing fats from these parts, liposuction helps create more defined and balanced body shape. Slimming down the bulky areas and enhancing curves and improving overall body proportions.



In the end incisions are closed or left open depending on the condition of the patient. Patients might experience some common symptoms like swelling and bruising and the results might take several months to become fully visible.





How BBL Uses Body's Fat To Create Curves



During this procedure fat is transferred through multi step process. In this procedure the unwanted fat is moved from other parts of the body to buttocks.



This procedure involves:

• The surgeon first performs liposuction to remove extra fat from different body parts like lower back, abdomen or thighs. This procedure helps in sculpting and defining the surrounding body areas which gives a overall contoured appearance.


• The next step is purification where the extracted fat is purified in a special system separating healthy and viable fat cells.


• Grafting is a skilled procedure done be a certified surgeon where the surgeon injects the fat at an angle into superficial layers to create desired volume.

Since this procedure uses the body's own fat the results looks more natural compared to synthetic implants.





How Long The Results Lasts And How To Maintain Them

Having balanced diet

The results for both of the procedures can lasts up to many years depending on how well an individual takes care of their body.

• Keep the weight stable


• Eating balanced and healthy diet
