Recently, non-hospital clinics have been performing thigh liposuction for weight loss, but many people say this method can lead to rebound. Is that true?

After thigh liposuction for weight loss, rebound is generally unlikely. Thigh liposuction primarily works on the principle of negative pressure suction, removing a certain amount of fat from the thighs to reduce fat accumulation and improve leg contour. Since extracted fat cells do not regenerate, although the remaining fat cells may increase in size due to irregular eating habits or overeating, such enlargement is usually not particularly noticeable.
