FACT: While a suntan gives the appearance of health and vigor, chronic sun exposure produces premature aging by breaking down the elastic fibers and thinning the layers of the skin. While ultraviolet rays from the sun improves skin complexion temporarily, the long term detrimental effects of the sun far outweigh the short-term positive benefits.

FACT: Basal Cell Carcinomas do, in fact, grow very slowly. Although it is rare, there are reports of Basal Cell Carcinomas which metastasize. The greatest concern, however, is that these tumors can reach a very large size if left untreated and can readily invade and destroy underlying tissue including cartilage and bone.

FACT: Fat never moves around the body any more than any other body tissue can travel. When we are born, we are given a number of fat cells in our body which, with only minor exceptions, never changes throughout our life. As we gain weight, each of the fat cells in our body increase in volume, and they then shrink with weight loss. With liposuction, fat cells are removed in the suctioned area, so that there are fewer fat cells there to enlarge and the process of liposuction also helps hold the remaining fat cells in place. When someone gains weight, the fat in the adjacent areas appear to enlarge more than they do in the suctioned areas, giving the appearance that the fat has traveled. While it isn't essential, it is preferable to be close to one's desired weight prior to liposuction. Liposuction should never be considered a weight loss technique.
