Every surgical or non surgical procedure rebounds on a skin. Many people who decide to undergo one or another procedure ask such questions as “How will my skin look like? – What outcomes can I expect? Or can my chosen procedure spoil the skin?” and many others.

During liposuction subcutaneous layer of the skin is reconstructed to eliminate the excessive fat; during laser hair removal the subcutaneous layer of the skin is also reconstructed to eliminate unwanted hair.
Skin after liposuction
Those who undergo liposuction, usually worry about skin and ask their doctors what changes the operation will make. Strange though it may seem, but none! The appearance of skin after liposuction depends on its elasticity; it means that skin with good elasticity will look smooth and natural after liposuction. Even if the skin has poor level of elasticity, it usually looks good after the operation. Generally, younger people have better skin elasticity than older; this factor holds sway on the effective results of liposuction. Generally, those who have previously been obese and later lost a great amount of weight will have less skin elasticity than someone who has never been obese.
It is commonly known that the usual change of skin which is seen after liposuction is similar to condition when the great deal of fat is lost by dieting and exercising. Liposuction does not make skin to be more wrinkled. For instance, if there are wrinkles on the inner thighs or in an upper abdomen area prior the operation they will not disappear itself after the operation; liposuction will not help to fix them. This operation just eliminates the excessive fat it does not unwrinkle the skin.
Liposuction does not have any effect on a skin. After liposuction, blood and lymphatic vessels feel relieved of excessive fat.

It is good to know that there are no changes done to the skin after liposuction, but they can arise if patients will not do main steps. It is necessary to wear a garment.
