Before undergoing elective surgery, most people have many questions that they want to consult their doctor about. We have listed here a few of these questions and their answers. Please, this does not replace a sound consultation with a trained surgeon. If you have a general question not answered here, you may post a question for him at the Question Forum .
Most cosmetic surgery done for aging is of limited value, usually holding up five to seven years.
This depends on the condition of your skin. In a case where the patient's skin is in good condition, a non-smoker, and has limited to no sun damage, the results can hold up for as long as 10 to 12 years. Liposuction is not for everyone and is a procedure which is best performed for contouring small areas of hereditary fat versus obesity. Anyone who is 15 to 20 lbs over their ideal weight is not a good candidate for the procedure. If you would like to read more about liposuction, please click here.
