Your Questions, Answered.

Are the results of liposuction permanent?2026-06-24T18:07:19-07:00

The fat cells removed during liposuction do not return. However, maintaining your results depends on a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight gain after surgery can affect your overall body contour, so proper diet and regular exercise are recommended to help preserve your results.

How long is the recovery after liposuction?2026-06-24T18:09:00-07:00

Recovery varies depending on the extent of your procedure and the areas treated. Most patients return to light daily activities within one to two weeks, while swelling gradually improves over the following weeks. Dr. Chugay will provide personalized aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

What areas of the body can be treated?2026-06-24T18:09:07-07:00

Liposuction can be performed on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, back, and under the chin. Your treatment plan will be customized based on your individual concerns and aesthetic goals.

Can liposuction help me lose weight?2026-06-24T18:00:41-07:00

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution. It is designed to remove stubborn fat deposits and improve body shape rather than significantly reduce body weight. The best results are typically achieved by patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Am I a good candidate for liposuction?2026-06-24T18:00:29-07:00

Liposuction is best suited for healthy individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with localized pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. During your consultation, Dr. Paul Chugay will assess your goals and determine whether liposuction is the right treatment for you.
