Maintaining Liposuction Results

Why Maintain
Liposuction Results?

Aside from the decisions to have the surgery and incur the cost, you’ll need to make another important commitment—to maintain your liposuction results. To put yourself through a surgery and spend the money on it will all be a waste if you don’t take proper care of your body after the procedure. Before you have liposuction, be sure you’re ready to do what it takes to maintain the results.

How to Maintain Liposuction Results

Eat Healthy

Cut down on simple carbohydrates (pasta, rice, bread, etc.), sugars and saturated fat. Rather than trying to eat less food, focus on eating better foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, whole grains, and lean protein are essential for good health.

Stay Hydrated

Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day, although this amount may vary depending on your body size and individual needs. Talk to your doctor to determine how much water is ideal for you. Staying hydrated helps you maintain a healthy metabolism rate, aids digestion, and helps control hunger.

Don’t Skip Meals

A nutritious breakfast is the cornerstone of a healthy diet because it keeps hunger pangs at bay, helps you keep from overeating, and provides your body with an initial source of energy to get you through the day.

Eat Healthy Carbohydrates

Get your carbohydrates from whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables. These are the healthiest sources of carbohydrates because they help keep your blood sugar levels balanced, preventing you from experiencing hunger and cravings, and helping you control your weight.

Eat Smaller Meals

Rather than three large meals, eating several smaller meals throughout the day helps you maintain your energy levels, and helps keep you from feeling deprived between meals. Eating smaller meals can also help you avoid overeating.

Exercise Regularly

It’s best to avoid vigorous exercise while you’re recovering from your liposuction procedure. However, walking slowly in the days following your surgery can help prevent blood clots and other complications. Once you’ve fully healed and your surgeon has given you the go-ahead, you may get back to a regular exercise regimen. Talk to your doctor about how much and what kinds of exercise are best for you.

Liposuction can be effective in helping you achieve a desirable body contour, but it’s an invasive surgery that takes time and costs money. Protect your investment and continue to enjoy the benefits by maintaining your liposuction results through a good diet, regular exercise regimen, and overall healthy lifestyle.
