Does Liposuction Get Rid of Cellulite?

Woman with celluliteMany people who struggle with unwanted fat also struggle with cellulite. However, that doesn’t mean there’s one solution to address both of these cosmetic concerns at the same time. Here, we dive into the question of whether liposuction can improve the appearance of dimpled skin. 

Understanding the Limitations of Liposuction 

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to shape and sculpt. It effectively eliminates stubborn fat from areas such as the thighs, but it doesn’t get rid of cellulite. That’s because, contrary to popular belief, cellulite isn’t fat. In reality, it’s caused by fibrous bands that pull down on skin from below, and it can appear regardless of a person’s weight or size. 

What You Can Do About Cellulite 

The good news is that we have some amazing professional cellulite treatments. Unlike topical products and home remedies that often fall short, these options are proven safe and effective.  

One treatment called Cellfina™ releases the fibrous bands that are known to cause cellulite. It’s minimally invasive and can provide smoother skin for at least five years in most patients. Then there’s QWO, the first and only FDA-approved injectable cellulite treatment. Best results are seen after three sessions scheduled three weeks apart, and they are expected to be long-lasting.

Combining Services to Achieve Your Goals

You’re probably asking yourself if cellulite treatments can be combined with liposuction. The answer is that it depends on your concerns, goals, and anatomy. 

For the right candidates, cellulite treatments can be performed alongside liposuction to target fat and dimples simultaneously. The two services complement each other nicely and might be great ways to achieve the figure of your dreams. Contact our Tampa Bay plastic surgery practice to learn more.
