While
medical complications are important, the reason that people have liposuction surgery
is for cosmetic reasons. The cosmetic effect after liposuction may be very good
and many patients report being satisfied. However, it is possible that the cosmetic
effect will not be what you expected. In other words, your appearance after liposuction
may not be what you expected or wanted. Some physicians counsel their patients
that reasonable expectations are important. It may be difficult to have reasonable
expectations after reading advertisements and looking at pictures of women and
men who have had liposuction. Remember that advertising is made to make you want
to purchase a product or service. Advertisements do not usually tell you about
problems or shortcomings of the product or service. If you want to know more about
advertising ethics, or want to report on false advertising, explore the following

Some
cosmetic shortcomings after liposuction include:
There
may be scars at the site where the doctor made the cut to insert the liposuction
canula. These scars are usually small and fade with time but in some people, scars
may be larger or more prominent.
The
liposuction site may have a wavy or bumpy appearance after liposuction.
Liposuction
results may not be permanent. If you gain weight after liposuction surgery, the
fat may return to sites where you had liposuction or to other sites.
Results may be less dramatic
than what you were expecting and this can be disappointing.
