Implant choice and placement
The right size is not measured in cc alone but by chest base width and tissue thickness. Sub-muscular placement hides the implant edge better in slim patients; sub-glandular placement recovers faster.
Liposuction and recovery
Liposuction reshapes rather than reduces weight. The outcome depends on wearing the compression garment for 4–6 weeks and following the prescribed lymphatic massage.

- Can fat come back after liposuction?
- Removed fat cells do not return, but the remaining cells can enlarge if you gain weight, so post-operative weight control directly affects the long-term shape.
