Liposuction

Do I have to diet after this cosmetic surgery?

A liposuction removes some fat cells from the body, but it is not an option to solve the problem of overweight. Nor does it modify the metabolism. However, it is always advisable to take care of the diet and try to eat a balanced diet.

Is it possible to fatten later?

The extraction of adipocytes that is performed in a liposuction is not a guarantee for not taking weight later. Moreover, if after this intervention we do not take care of the diet and do not carry out a routine of physical activity, it is probable that the remaining fat cells of the organism will develop and contribute to an increase in weight. 

If this is not put into practice it is likely that some patients experience an increase in fat in areas of the body where they previously did not have it. Those who achieve more satisfactory results are those who use this treatment as a stimulus to modify their eating habits and exercise.

Is there a limit on fat extraction?

Yes, there is a limit when extracting fat and it is determined by the weight of the patient. In total, it is possible to extract up to 10% of the weight of the person who undergoes this procedure.

The condition of the skin and its quality are also evaluated, so that those less elastic or more flaccid, involve a lesser extraction.Our plastic surgeon also done breast reduction surgery with liposuction
