Can Fat Return After Your Liposuction Procedure?
Learn More About Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction Procedure
In Miami, liposuction has recently gained popularity due to its ability to permanently remove fat cells, resulting in an improved body contour. Regardless of your age or gender, this procedure can be life changing and often helps to boost patients’ self-esteem and confidence by slimming the hips, abdomen, or thighs, creating a more even and proportionate silhouette. While liposuction is often thought to be a procedure targeted at overweight individuals, it is frequently requested by healthy, fit patients who are unable to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat through diet and exercise alone. In fact, it is best suited to individuals who are at a healthy, steady weight and have considerable skin elasticity. Understandably, before undergoing liposuction, patients often inquire about whether the removed fat can return. While the short answer is no, it is important to be aware that weight gain is possible after the procedure.

Maintaining your Results
After undergoing liposuction, it is necessary to make a commitment to maintain the results. The following lifestyle changes should be adopted following your procedure in order to maintain your post-operative weight.
Follow Your Surgeon’s Advice
After your surgery, you will be provided with a thorough list of aftercare instructions. Be sure to adhere to your surgeon’s advice in order to ensure a speedy recovery and optimal results. In addition, it is important to discuss any concerns or complications with your surgeon.
Live An Active Lifestyle
In sunny Miami, regular exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Although rigorous exercise should be avoided for the first two to three weeks of your recovery, once your surgeon gives you the go-ahead, it is crucial to incorporate regular exercise, such as aerobics and resistance training into your routine in order to burn calories and build muscle.
Make Healthy Dietary Choices
Following your procedure, it is advisable to make a conscious effort to eat well in order to maintain a healthy weight. Avoid food that is high in fat, sugar, and carbohydrates and instead opt for meals that contain fruits, vegetables, fish, seafood, lean proteins, low fat dairy, and healthy fats. In addition to helping you sustain your post-operative figure, a healthy diet will also promote healing and prevent the development of various diseases and health conditions.
