    Does body sculpting produce lasting results?

    The results from a body sculpting procedure can be considered permanent. You are only born with so many fat cells. In the process of performing body sculpting, fat cells are permanently removed. Your body cannot make more. Therefore, all things being equal, once fat is removed from an area of the body new fat cells will not form there and contrary to popular opinion fat cells do not migrate to other areas of your body.

    One important fact: You must take care of yourself post-procedure, that is, eat healthy and exercise if you want to maintain and even improve on the results you received from this procedure.

    How much fat can Body Sculpting remove?

    The amount of fat removed is dependent upon how much fat is there to start with and how thorough the area can be worked during the procedure.

    Are there any restrictions before the procedure and post-op? If so, what are they and for how long?

    There are no specific pre-op restrictions. Post-operatively Dr. Zelko would want you to rest the area that underwent liposuction for at least 7-10 days. Example, if you had your abdomen done, he would not want you to be doing any abdominal crunches for the next 7-10 days. Return to work restrictions would depend on the type of work you do and the areas that you had treated. Depending on your occupation, you could return to work the very next day, or if you have a more rigorous job, it may be beneficial to take a few days off.
