What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure intended to tone, slim, and sculpt the body. Liposuction removes areas of stubborn fat, creating your desired contours. Liposuction is an excellent treatment for individuals near their ideal body weight looking to reshape their bodies. Liposuction can be performed in the abdomen, legs, arms, back, chest, love handles, thighs, knees, calves, and chin areas. Knowing the dos and don’ts before and after your procedure is essential.

View Before and After Photos

Looking at your surgeon’s work can be beneficial in ensuring that their work and surgery style align with your desired goals. Seeing before and after photos of various body types displays a sense of diversity in their capabilities.

Stabilize Your Weight

Before your surgery, you must stabilize your weight by maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Healthy individuals tend to heal better, and implementing lifestyle changes beforehand can ensure that you retain your healthy habits afterward.

After

Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

Afterward, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle to maintain your results. Putting on weight after surgery is still possible, even in your treated areas. Eating a healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while avoiding sweets and excessive carbs is crucial. Regular exercise with intense and moderate workouts can help you maintain your new curves.

Don’ts of Liposuction

Before

Don’t Make Assumptions

Before surgery, it is important not to assume that the surgery is just for women. Liposuction is a versatile procedure customizable to your wants, needs, and body goals. Many male patients consider liposuction to treat gynecomastia (excessive male breast tissue) or to tone their abdomen.

After

Don’t Ignore Recovery Instructions

After your liposuction procedure, your doctor will instruct you to achieve optimal results with proper healing. Giving your body the right amount of time to rest and heal is extremely important. It is essential to move around when you feel ready, wear a compression garment, and resume normal activities after approximately two weeks.

Don’t Expect Instant Results

The treated areas may be swollen the first few weeks after your procedure. Wearing a compression garment can help minimize swelling and aid in recovery. Your final results will emerge six to twelve months after your procedure process.
