What to Expect During Recovery?
You may notice some swelling, redness, and bruising following your procedure. This should begin to subside around 10 days after your procedure. Compression clothing will be beneficial for helping to reduce discomfort and should be worn for the next six weeks. Many patients request a few days to a week away from work and other activities.
When Will You See Your Results?
It will be difficult to notice your results for the first several days after your procedure as you will likely have some swelling and fluid retention. As this subsides, you will begin to see the results. Although, it may take a month or so of healing before you can see the full effects of your procedure.
How to Maintain Your Liposuction Results?
Liposuction, in short, is a procedure for the removal of fat cells. These fat cells cannot return and have been completely removed from the body. However, some fat cells are still left in the body that can shrink and grow in response to weight fluctuations. This means that you must keep a stable weight in order to maintain the results of your liposuction.
A healthy lifestyle is the key to maintaining your weight and the results of your procedure. If you have not already, start small with low-intensity exercise a few times a week, and experiment with what forms of movement work for you. It’s important to remember that heavy exercise cannot compensate for a poor diet. You can create healthy, balanced meals by including fruit or a vegetable, lean protein, healthy fat, and a carb source. That’s not to say you cannot enjoy yourself. Just remember to enjoy food in moderation.
