If you’ve struggled with diet and exercise alone, Saxenda for weight loss may be the solution you’ve been looking for. This FDA-approved, prescription-only injectable treatment helps individuals achieve sustainable weight loss by reducing appetite and promoting a feeling of fullness.
Saxenda (liraglutide 3mg) is a clinically proven medication designed to aid weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 27+ who have weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. This treatment works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that regulates hunger, helping patients feel full for longer and consume fewer calories.

Liposuction and liposculpture are closely related procedures, but the main difference lies in their approach and goals. Liposuction typically focuses on removing excess fat from specific areas of the body to reduce volume and improve body contour. It is a technique aimed at fat reduction. On the other hand, liposculpture involves not only fat removal but also the artistic reshaping and sculpting of the treated areas to enhance natural contours and achieve a more sculpted appearance. Liposculpture aims to create aesthetic balance, proportions, and definition, going beyond simple fat reduction. It involves a more precise and detailed approach to fat removal and contouring to achieve a desired sculpted outcome.
It takes time for the swelling to fully subside and the body to heal after liposculpture. While some improvements may be noticeable immediately after the procedure, the final results become more apparent as the tissues settle and the swelling resolves. This process can take several weeks to a few months, depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure.
Liposculpture primarily targets excess fat deposits and may not effectively address significant loose or sagging skin. If you have significant skin laxity, your surgeon may recommend additional procedures such as a body lift or skin tightening techniques to address the excess skin and achieve desired results. It is important to discuss your concerns with your surgeon during the consultation to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.
The fat cells removed during liposculpture are permanently eliminated from the treated areas. However, it is still possible to gain weight in other areas of the body, which can affect overall body contour. To maintain the results, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to minimize weight fluctuations. Adhering to a consistent and healthy routine can help ensure long-lasting results.
No, liposuction is not intended as a weight loss method. It is best suited for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
The results of liposuction can be long-lasting, provided that you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. While the fat cells removed during liposuction do not return, it is still possible to gain weight in other areas of the body.
Liposuction is not specifically designed to treat cellulite. However, it can improve the overall contour and smoothness of the treated areas, which may have a positive impact on the appearance of cellulite.
Yes, there are various liposuction techniques available, including traditional liposuction, tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), and laser-assisted liposuction (LAL). Your surgeon will determine the most suitable technique based on your individual needs and goals.
