How to Remove Fat Cells Permanently?
Fat cells can be permanently removed through medical procedures. While you cannot eliminate all fat cells from your body, specific procedures target and remove fat cells from particular areas. The results are generally permanent, provided your weight remains stable.
Several methods effectively and permanently remove fat cells:
1. Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction cannula to remove fat cells from targeted areas. Multiple sources confirm that liposuction permanently removes fat cells. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] The number of fat cells removed depends on the area's size and fat volume. Importantly, while the fat cells are gone, weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge. [4, 5] The shape changes achieved through liposuction are generally permanent as long as your weight remains relatively consistent. [1, 19-Sept-2024]
2. Non-Invasive Fat Removal Procedures
Several non-invasive techniques, like CoolSculpting (cryolipolysis) and laser lipolysis, also achieve permanent fat cell removal. [7, 9, 10] These methods use freezing or laser energy to destroy targeted fat cells, resulting in a permanent reduction in the number of fat cells in the treated area. [7, 9] The amount of fat removed depends on the technology and the area treated. Studies suggest procedures like SculpSure can permanently remove up to 24% of fat cells in the targeted area. [9]
Important Considerations
- Weight Management: Maintaining a stable weight is crucial to preserving the results of fat cell removal procedures. If you gain significant weight after the procedure, the remaining fat cells can enlarge, potentially negating the effects.
- Individual Results: Results vary depending on the procedure chosen, the individual's body type, and the area treated.
- Consult a Specialist: Always consult a qualified medical professional to discuss the best approach for your individual needs and circumstances.
