Fat cells that are removed during the liposuction process are destroyed, so in this sense, liposuction is long-lasting. However, other fat cells can expand, causing weight gain after the procedure. This is why it is important that patients maintain a stable weight before and after Liponique, to ensure the body contouring benefits of the procedure last indefinitely. Changes to the body from aging will eventually affect the results, but Liponique is a long-term solution to problem areas.
