What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to reshape the body's aesthetic appearance by removing fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.

Liposuction should not be considered a simple alternative to weight loss. It's a surgical procedure used only when traditional weight loss methods haven't reduced localized fat deposits. These deposits often affect body contour and self-esteem. To achieve excellent liposuction results, proper preparation and adherence to your doctor's instructions are crucial. Your pre-liposuction actions significantly impact the outcome.  

What Should You Do Before Liposuction?

Reach a Normal and Stable Weight

There's no specific weight requirement before liposuction. However, ideally, reach or get close to your target weight several months prior to surgery.

Reaching your ideal weight differs from achieving your ideal body. Many people still have stubborn fat even at their ideal weight. Liposuction can address this.

 

Develop Your Muscles

Removing exercise-resistant fat helps achieve a leaner physique, but toning underlying muscles optimizes liposuction results. For example, developing abdominal muscles is crucial for achieving "six-pack" abs; liposuction removes the overlying fat.

Start muscle development several months before the procedure. This helps achieve your desired look faster after liposuction, improves strength, and speeds recovery.

 

Balance Your Diet

A healthy diet is always advisable, but crucial for liposuction preparation. Aim for a diet that improves healing and skin elasticity. Focus on foods rich in antioxidants and water, such as:

• Various berries (blueberries, blackberries, açaí);
• Celery;
• Cucumber;
• Healthy oils (olive, walnut);
• Omega-3 fatty acids;
• Squashes (pumpkin, zucchini);
• Spices (cinnamon, turmeric);
• Drink plenty of water;

Stop Nicotine Consumption

Nicotine impairs cosmetic surgery results by restricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow. Good circulation is vital for results and healing, impacting healing speed and blood clot risk. Stop smoking immediately upon scheduling liposuction.

 

Prepare Your Home for Post-Op

Prepare your home for recovery. While recovery is relatively quick, you'll need rest. Consider:

• Easy-to-prepare meals;
• Easily accessible comfortable clothing;
• Arrangements for childcare or pet care;
• Essential items within reach of your bed;
• Consult your surgeon for additional home recovery tips;

Thorough preparation ensures optimal recovery and results. While perfect results aren't guaranteed, these tips maximize your chances of success.

 

Liposuction Results

Results are visible within weeks, though swelling subsides over months. Return to work may take a few days to two weeks, depending on the procedure's extent. Some patients return within 24-72 hours. Results are generally long-lasting with stable weight maintenance. However, liposuction doesn't prevent weight gain. Maintain results with balanced diet and exercise.
