Many of you don’t like the image you see when you look into the mirror. Maybe you have some sagging skin on your arms, legs, belly or other parts of your body that have the tendency to get fat. And many of you think that liposuction is a good way to regain better physical appearance. But how about losing weight after your liposuction?
Liposuction is the most common cosmetic procedure in the world and many, not just celebrities but average people as well undergo this cosmetic surgery. The base of liposuction is removal of fat tissue that accumulates in various areas of your body.
Even though the aim of liposuction is to ‘suck’ out fat, and it does so successfully, you shouldn’t consider it as an effective weight loss method or as a cure for obesity. The goal of liposuction is simply to suck out the fat from your belly (for example) but it doesn’t deal with stretch marks, cellulite or fat dimples.
Even though liposuction does contour your body shape and thru sucking out the fat cells it does provide some weight loss, it is by no means a magical cure for obesity that will help keep your new body shape. If, after liposuction you don’t change your lifestyle, eat healthier foods, and healthier amounts, you will still get fat again.
Even though liposuction is a very common plastic surgery, it’s not without risks. Some minor side effects like infection, numbness and scarring is to be expected. You can also expect to have some lumps and dents if your plastic surgeon removes too much fat. Bottom line, the risks vary from patient to patient so we strongly recommend that you consult with your surgeon first.
Is weight loss easy after liposuction
Unfortunately, many liposuction patients think that they will magically lose weight after liposuction and that will be it. Well, you will lose some weight, but don’t think that this is a miracle cure. Liposuction only targets fat cells that are under your skin so the external fat layers.
But if you really want to lose weight after liposuction, you need to focus on the fat that is around your organs and inside your abdomen. Liposuction can’t help you with that. In order to lose that fat, you can do some exercise, have better sleeping habits, avoid sugary food and switch to a healthier diet.
Weight loss estimate after liposuction
Every drop of fat, contains roughly 9 calories. When you go through liposuction, you lose about 15,000 calories and you will definitely lose weight after the surgery. However, if you want to keep losing weight, you need to switch to a proper healthy lifestyle.
It is expected that you will lose weight after liposuction, but don’t be surprised if you gain some temporarily. In order to avoid any surprises, here are a few things you should know:
After liposuction, the place where the plastic surgeon sucked out your fat, will be filled with soak up water or scar tissue. This might make you weight more, but don’t be afraid. This is only temporary and lasts about a week or two.
After liposuction, you should use your compression garments and get lymphatic massage. This will remove the excess water faster.
You should also see with your doctor about setting up a post-surgical diet plan so you can continue lose weight once you recovered from liposuction
