What is the long-term outcome like?

You should see the visible results of your surgery within two or three weeks, but the full effects may not be evident for six months to a year. The more fat you have removed, the longer it takes for your skin to adapt to the change in shape. Most people are pleased with their new contour, and often feel a boost in energy and self-confidence. Although liposuction cannot alter skin quality or muscle tone, and should not be a substitute for regular exercise and a balanced diet, your buttocks will always be slimmer than they would be if you hadnt had this procedure.
