How to maintain good long-term results after liposuction?
Liposuction is one of the most popular and frequent procedures. As we know, it is an operation whose indications are localized fat accumulations that resist diet and physical activity; therefore, it should be performed on people who have already lost weight by following an appropriate diet and practicing sports, preferably aerobic activity.
It is important to emphasize that liposuction is not a weight loss operation, but a body contouring technique. Many factors influence achieving a good result in the immediate postoperative period, such as age, the amount of fat to be sucked, the elasticity of the skin and the number of areas to be treated.
However, patients should also have real expectations about maintaining a good long-term result after liposuction. There are three key elements to improving body profile, and the patient is responsible for the first two, namely: physical activity and a proper diet. The third is, of course, properly performed surgery.
Liposuction is considered a safe and reliable procedure, if performed with the right indications, but it cannot, on its own, maintain the result over time. A study published in a specialist journal shows that patients who adopted a healthy lifestyle obtained the best results. In particular, according to this study, patients who decided to adopt a proper diet and exercise had a three-fold increase in the chances of losing weight, reducing the size of their clothes, being satisfied with the result and to improve their health. On the other hand, the probability of gaining weight is multiplied by four in patients who do not follow the diet and do not exercise; these people will see their self-esteem diminish and will not be satisfied with the result of the intervention. Diet and lifestyle changes should be made immediately after the procedure because, statistically, patients who gained weight did so from the sixth or seventh month after liposuction.
