subject: Achieving The Best Results After Liposuction [print this page] Exercise and healthy eating are important, but sometimes they are not enough to get the results you desire for your body. For those people whose bodies are stubborn and do not respond to conventional methods for shaping and toning up, there is liposuction.
To achieve the best results possible following a liposuction operation, you need to start eating right. Even if you did not eat well before the surgery, make the necessary changes afterwards. Skipping meals is not a good idea, nor is going to extremes when it comes to dieting.
Most cosmetic surgeons recommend to their patients that they follow a stricter diet before the operation date comes around. Following the operation, proper maintenance is required. This means consuming more vegetables and fruits. It also means eater leaner types of meat to get the right percentage of protein and carbohydrates. You should avoid sweets as much as you can after you have had liposuction.
Your recuperation may involve some discomfort, but it will not be too long before you begin to see the results of it. The most fitting means of maintaining your new figure is to work up a sweat through exercise. Before you start exercising again, though, see your doctor. You need to make sure that all of your wounds have healed properly. Do not start doing any rigorous physical activity until your physician gives you the go-ahead to do so!
Brisk routines should not be engaged in when you first begin to exercise again. Yoga is a good place to start as is gentle stretching exercises. Some cosmetic surgeons recommend that their patients already be physically active before the lipo procedure takes place. This makes the recovery easier and often times, more rapid.
One of the most common blunders that results from liposuction can sometimes lead to a problem known as fat embolism. This can occur when the cosmetic surgeon uses large liposuction rods, as opposed to smaller ones. The fat from the patient is able to escape from the rods and head in the direction of the heart. Small rods are generally better and allow for a faster healing process. Discuss this with your physician in advance of the operation date.
If the thought of the painful aftermath of your cosmetic work has you cringing inwardly, there is a way that it can be reduced by the doctor. Ask your surgeon if he can give you some extra adrenaline or epinephrine. These substances have the ability to constrict the blood vessels. By doing so, the bruising and swelling after the operation will be reduced. The skin will be smoother and the scarring will be less obvious.
Getting rid of unwanted fat from your body is the surgeon's goal when he performs liposuction on you. But it does not end there. Post-operative appointments are necessary as follow-ups. The physician needs to assure you that the job was done right and that you are healing as you should be.
