Myth: There is a permanent cure for cellulite.
Fact: There are no permanent cures for cellulite, or anything else for that matter, when it comes to plastic surgery or skin rejuvenation. Claims that a cure is permanent are simply misleading. Though there are technologies and treatments that can provide long-lasting and wonderful cellulite reduction results, they cannot be classified as permanent because weight gain, genetics, and aging will all play a factor in the return of cellulite pockets.
Myth: Liposuction is just for women.
Fact: Liposuction by Dr. David J. Levens is a wonderful option for both men and women. This myth is that liposuction is just for women stems from the thought that plastic surgery in general is more geared towards women. The fact is, according to the ASAPS and the ASPS, liposuction is one of the five most frequently performed cosmetic surgical procedures for men. In general, male plastic surgery is on the rise. More and more men are realizing the great benefits of plastic surgery and skin rejuvenation.
Myth: Liposuction gets rid of loose skin.
Truth: Liposuction is successful in fat removal and fat reduction. If you suffer from excess or loose skin due to massive weight loss, then liposuction would not aid in solving that problem. Procedures like tummy tucks, arm lifts, thigh lifts or even a full body lift, are much more effective for skin tightening. These procedures can be done alone or in conjunction with liposuction.
Myth: Liposuction will get rid of cellulite.
Fact: Liposuction does not get rid of cellulite. Liposuction works to remove and reduce fat but will not rid your body of cellulite. Cellulite treatments can work to reduce the appearance of cellulite and can keep it away for a long time assuming that you maintain a healthy weight and have a consistent exercise routine.
