Liposuction removes excess fat and improves body contour. But does it have an impact on weight loss?
Liposuction is a technique that removes excess fat from certain regions of the body through suction. In this way the procedure improves the contour of the body, providing a more harmonious result. The feeling is often that of weight loss. However, this is not a consequence, or even a goal, of plastic surgery.

According to Dr. Daniel Soares, plastic surgeon in Belém, Pará, and member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), liposuction is indicated for patients (men and women) who have localized fat (abdomen, back, inner thighs) , trousers, chin strap, etc.) and who wish to improve their body contour.
“It can be associated with fat grafting, a procedure which consists in placing the fat removed from the areas treated with liposuction, working it properly and grafting it in areas such as the buttocks, breasts, calves and face. When liposuction is combined fat grafting, the procedure is now called liposculpture,” adds the doctor.
Liposuction can restore self-esteem
Despite this, liposuction doesn’t lead to weight loss, which doesn’t mean it doesn’t improve self-esteem. Carol Lemos, for example, is the lead singer of Ar15, a techno-lody band, and she shared her own experience about how she opted for lipo.
“I am a mother of 4 children, 3 of which are biological, and I had a caesarean delivery. Motherhood brings many changes to our body. It was looking for my best version that I met the team of Dr. Daniel Soares. I chose the method quick recovery method, thanks to my routine. I underwent lipoabdominoplasty and mastopexy with implants and today my self-esteem is renewed”, he says.
Lana Lima, digital influencer and entrepreneur, also felt the effects of the procedure on her skin after pregnancy. Even returning to the weight of the previous pregnancy, it was a liposculpture that regained her well-being.
“I came from a postpartum period that had a lot of influence on my self-esteem, on the woman side. I’ve always had a pretty good physique. I trained a lot. After pregnancy, I was able to get back to my ideal weight, but I didn’t go back to same body. My body has changed a lot. Liposculpture has come to solve many of these discomforts [estéticos] I had that. It came to renew my self-confidence that’s why I chose to do liposculpture with Dr. Daniel who is a doctor who was my best choice. We feel safe,” she said.
When is surgery indicated?
There is no ideal age to perform liposuction, says Daniel. “However, we recommend performing the surgery in patients over 17 years of age and with a body mass index (BMI) up to 28.”, informs the doctor.
For those who want to lose weight, the best proposal would be to contact qualified professionals in the field of slimming and then evaluate the best therapeutic proposal, both clinical and surgical.
